Question

Dave has ________ the company since his father retired.

A. been in charge ofB. been in the charge of

C. taken charge ofD. taken the charge of

Answer

A

【解析】

试题分析：句意：自从Dave的父亲退休后他就负责公司。be in charge of“负责，主管”。是主动延续性动词短语；be in the charge of“由…负责，掌管”，是被动延续性动词短语；take charge of“接管”，是主动非延续性动词短语；take the charge of“由……负责”，是被动非延续性动词短语。根据时间状语用延续性动词短语，根据主语是人，故选A。
