A. \u4e86(le), \u8fc7(guò)
   
B. \u8fc7(guò), \u8fc7(guò)
   
C. \u8fc7(guò), \u4e86(le)<\/p>\n

Correct Answer: B
In the Chinese language, both “\u8fc7(guò)” and “\u4e86(le)” can be used following verbs to show that something has happened. They are both usually used in the same structure: Subject + Verb + “\u8fc7(guò)” \/ “\u4e86(le).” However, their precise meanings differ from one another.
Generally, “\u8fc7(guò)” places stress on the thing or the experience itself, meaning that somebody has experienced something in the past.
The structure is: Subject + Verb + \u8fc7(guò) + Object
Examples:
W\u01d2 qù guò B\u011bij\u012bng.
\u6211  \u53bb  \u8fc7    \u5317\u4eac\u3002
I have been to Beijing.

Liu Xin: Have you ever seen the film Life of Pi?
   
Linda: W\u01d2 kàn guò! Zhè bù diàny\u01d0ng f\u0113icháng bàng!
Linda\uff1a\u6211  \u770b   \u8fc7\uff01  \u8fd9  \u90e8    \u7535\u5f71      \u975e\u5e38       \u68d2\uff01
Linda: Yes I have! I think the film is really great!
   
Because “\u8fc7(guò)” is used to talk a<\/em>bout past actions, it is negated with “\u6ca1(méi).”
The structure is: Subject + \u6ca1(méi) + Verb + \u8fc7(guò) + Object
Examples:
W\u01d2 méi qù guò Zh\u014dng’guó.
\u6211   \u6ca1   \u53bb  \u8fc7      \u4e2d\u56fd\u3002
I have never been to China.
   
“\u4e86(le)” places stress on the action itself, and emphasizes the the completion of an action.
Examples:
Z\u01ceoshang, w\u01d2  ch\u012b le li\u01ceng’gè j\u012bdàn, h\u0113 le yìb\u0113i niún\u01cei.
\u65e9\u4e0a\uff0c       \u6211    \u5403 \u4e86   \u4e24\u4e2a   \u9e21\u86cb\uff0c\u559d \u4e86 \u4e00\u676f   \u725b\u5976\u3002
I ate two eggs and drank one glass of milk for my breakfast.
   
Zuóti\u0101n w\u01d2 m\u01cei le yìb\u011bn sh\u016b.
\u6628\u5929      \u6211 \u4e70  \u4e86  \u4e00\u672c   \u4e66\u3002
Yesterday, I bought a book.
   
Additionally, “\u4e86(le)” can be used as a modal particle to express certain emotions, such as surprise, anger, etc.
Examples:
Kàn! Jim lái le!
\u770b\uff01 Jim \u6765 \u4e86\uff01
Look! Here comes Jim!
   
Bié ch\u01ceo le!
\u522b    \u5435   \u4e86\uff01
Be quiet!
   
In our test, Zhang Wei wants to know whether Nancy has had the experience of eating Beijing Roast Duck. The focus of their co<\/em>nversation is on the past experience itself, not the action of eating. This means the correct answer is B.
