He complained to the bookseller that there were several pages（ ）in the book.
A、
losing
B、
missing
C、
dropping
D、
lacking
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：
形容词辨析。表示失踪，缺少missing, lost, gone。句意：John向书商抱怨在字典中少了好几页。用missing表示丢失。在表示消失、丢失的含义时,miss表示主观主动；如果在句子中主语是人及行为者 lose，drop表示主观主动；如果是物体及事件作主语时 lose，drop表示主观被动,此时一般用被动语态。
