From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
The referee contemplated............the players off the pitch.
to send
to sending
sending
to be sending
설명
The referee contemplated sending the players off the pitch.
The verb "contemplated" is usually followed by a gerund (the -ing form of the verb), not an infinitive. So, after "contemplated", the correct form is "sending".
