He bad-mouthed me. This example shows that compounds are different from free phrases in( )features.
A、phonetic
B、semantic
C、grammatical
D、lexical
【正确答案】:C
【题目解析】:本题考查复合词的语法特征。phonetic:语音的;semantic:语义的;grammatical:语法的;lexical:词汇的。复合词在语法上独立作成分,如动词、名词、形容词等。bad-mouth作动词时,有第三人称单数bad-mouths和一般过去时bad-mouthed等形式。故C选项符合题意。
