: 題目：
: 1. Today, 79 percent of the world's children, ________ six to eleven , are
: enrolled in elementary school.
: (1) aged
: (2) aging
: (3) to age
: (4) ages
: 疑問：為甚麼是1而不是2，因為who age =aging
:
以 "aged" 的用法來說，屬於形容詞 [1] [2] 。一般用法上，習慣放在人後面，可用逗點
隔開 [3] [4]，也可不用逗點隔開 [5] [6]。"ages" 也有相同的用法: 前可加逗點
[7] [8] [9]，也可不加逗點 [10] [11] [12]。所以你這個題目會有兩個答案可選擇。
而你所說的 "who age" 不是用在表達年紀的情境。
