Mr Reed made up his mind to devote all he had to ___ some schools for poor children.a.set up b.setting up 为什么答案用b

devote (all he had)to setting up
devote sth to doing sth

devote (all he had)to setting up
devote sth to doing sth

devote ...to....把...献于,把...用于
这题,all 是devote的宾语,不能看作是had to do sth
这里的to后面跟 sth/doing sth
他决心把他所有的一切都用于为穷孩子建立学校

devote sth to doing sth
划分一下句子结构
Mr Reed made up his mind to devote (all he had)to setting up some...
all he had是devote的宾语

先看看例句
"After he has retired, he will devote himself to gardening."
"退休后,他将要致力于园艺."
原来是devote sth to sth
or devote sth to doing sth

应该选c

选a:set up .
注意， all he had 是宾语从句。另外，had和后面的to 不是一起的，不是had to（不得不）
说明，做选择题，首先要分清楚句子的成分，学会断句，然后在根据所缺损的成分的时态、语态、固定搭配等进行选择。
