Landlord, this question is very good! It is easy to choose the wrong C in this question.
Correct answer: a.
Sentence meaning:
Inspired by the beautiful natural scenery and long history of this town, poets and scholars have written many poems and articles about it.
Key:
① According to the meaning of the sentence, the subject poets and scholars in front and the active word inspire should be encouraged, that is, the passive relationship, excluding C and D;
(2) Being inspired is essentially a passive form of v-ing, emphasizing that passive actions are going on;
(3) The context of the question shows that the encouraging action is not only passive, but also complete, that is, it has happened or been completed before the predicate verb has written the whole sentence-first encouraging, then writing poems and articles, so it should be said to be completed.
Being inspired can only mean being encouraged, not finished. Therefore, it does not meet the needs of action time in the context and cannot be used.
④ Alternative understanding:
If you use being having thought, it can mean both passivity and completion, and you can use thought instead.
But pay attention to:
Inspired can be used as an adverbial or attribute, while had be inspired can only be used as an adverbial.
I wish you happiness!
