The performance of the host, _____ to please the audience and draw their attention, was greeted with a cold silence, however.
选项:a、had intended b、 intended c、 being intended d、 to intend
选哪个?请分析并翻译整句

b、 intended
过去分词intended to ..attention做后置定语,修饰the performance
主持人本想取悦于听众以此吸引他们的注意,没想到竟冷了场

选b,因为要填的这个小分局实际上是一个非谓语结构,因为这整个句子已经有明确的主谓宾,就是The performance of the host was greeted with a cold silence, however.所以必须填一个非谓语结构,而intended在使用时是be intended to do sth. 这里不需要用being 强调现在进行时,只是表明一个状态,所以用b

选B
东道主的演出,原本是为了取悦观众并吸引人们的注意,却换来了冷场。
