The battery finally _________ before sunset.

The battery finally _________ before sunset.
A.used up B.gave out C.used out D.went out
【答案】B
【释义】在黄昏前,电池终于用完了.
【解析】那位讲师说的有道理,不过本人想添加一些内容,希望对您有用：
首先 A项的use up,C项的use out的主语都是人,同样的还有短语run out of；
而give out,run out作“耗尽”之意时,句子的主语是物
这样,我们很容易发现,use up,use out,run out of 可有被动形式,而give out,run out则无被动形式了.
例如,
His money soon ran out.
=Soon,his money is used up/ Soon,he used up his money.
他的钱很快就花完了.
His is always running out of money before payday.
=His money always gives out before payday.
他老是发工资的日子还没到就把钱花完了.

A和C都应用被动语态

答案选B.gave out
如果用used up 就必须吧句子改成The battery was finally used up before sunset. 这used up 是个动名词. Gave out 的 gave 就是这句话的动词。

A和C 只能是用于被动语态中，如The battery was finally used up；从语感上说，D是最好的，但个人认为从意思上说B也不能完全算错，但一般不这么搭配；说电池没电了，用go out还是比较常见些，还有一种说法是 The battery was finally dead before sunset.Dead这儿指耗尽的意思。...

give out指放光，放尽的意思，一般用作气体，能量，辐射。。。等能放出来的东西
