A leading B leads C led D to lead 答案： A 句意：往那看 有一条很长很曲折的小路通向那所房子。本题考查非谓动词用法。现在分词短语在此作后置定语，相当于定语从句 which leads up to the house。 leads 在句中作谓语； led 是 lead 的过去分词形式，与 path构成被动关系

A was happening B happened C happens D has happened 答案： B 考查动词的时态。根据前面的 I was out of town ，可知 happen这个动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时。本句的意思是：那个时候我不在城里，因此我不能确切地知道它是怎样发生的。 So sudden _ that the enemy had no time to escape.
