— Have you found the poor dog yet? — Yes. But he was______when we found him. The bad weather killed him.

A. dying B. died C. dead D. die

【答案】

C

【解析】

句意：——你找到那只可怜的狗了吗？——找到了。但是当我们找到它时，它死了。恶劣的天气杀死了它。dying快要死了，是形容词；die死了，是动词；dead死的，是形容词；此处作为系动词was的表语，故用形容词，根据The bad weather killed him.可知恶劣的天气杀死了它，因此他它了，故用dead。故选C。
