3. promise(n.) to sb to do/ of n. /in n.
the promise to do 做某事的保证
the promise of n. 两种用法,一个是关于某事的保证,比如 a promise of job opportunity/certain benefits,另一个是来自某人的保证,比如 the promise of America/ God。the promise of 后面很少有doing,如果有动词选择to do 的形式。
promise in更多的是 promise 所处的状况,比如He made a promise in the campaign,如果有动词选择to do 的形式。
综上,排除CDE
