(单选题)

is not a shortcoming, which can be by working hard.

A.Not to be clever; made for

B.To be not clever; made up for
B. Being not clever; made for D. Not being clever; made up for

参考答案：D

参考解析：

考查动名词作主语和动词短语辨析。句意：不聪明不是缺点，可以通过努力工作来弥补。动名词充当主语，其否定形式是在动名词前面直接加not。make up for意为“组成，补足，化妆，编造”，此处是“补足、弥补”的意思。根据伴随状语的主被动和固定短语，故选D。

知识点：

______ is not a shortcoming, which can be ______ by working hard.
