【評論內容】這題比較困難，請參考以下解釋：在本題中，句子的重點是：火雞在感恩節後剩餘的狀態，因此需要一個形容詞來精準描述其狀態。(A) remain 表示某物繼續存在，但無法精準描述火雞在感恩節後的狀態。(B) remaining 為分詞形容詞，用以描述火雞的狀態。remaining描述了火雞在感恩節後仍然存在。文法上亦正確。(C) remained  代表某事在過去仍然存在且未改變。然而句中重點於火雞在感恩節後的狀態，不是火雞是否在過去繼續存在，又，火雞是被剩下來的，不會跟一開始一樣且完全沒有改變。(D) to remain 因為缺少動詞，故不能選擇。此外，to remain 表示未來的動作，而不是描述過去的狀態。以上，故選(B)最為適宜。
