[单选题]题目38正确获得1.00分中的1.00分未标记标记题目. An old man ________ on the side of the road was found ________, and he was sent to the hospital by the bus driver and passengers immediately.

a. lay; died
b. lain; dead
c. lies; dies
d. lying; dying 解析：句意：一个躺在路边的老人被发现奄奄一息，他被巴士司机和乘客立即送往医院。考查词义辨析。lies说谎，躺；lay躺（过去式）或放置（动词原形）；lain躺（过去分词）；lying躺（现在分词）或说谎（现在分词）。第一空表示“正躺在路边的老人”，用现在分词作定语。dies死亡，动词三单；died死亡，动词过去式；dead死亡的，形容词；dying垂死的，形容词。根据“he was sent to the hospital by the bus driver and passengers immediately.”可知，还有生命体征，处于垂死边缘，第二空应填形容词dying，。
