问题补充：

by strong snowstorms, the area faced severe water and electricity shortage.

A. Struck

B. Having struck

C. Striking

D. Be struck

答案：

(答案→)A. Struck

B. Having struck

C. Striking

D. Be struck

解析：A 考察非谓语动词。句义：由于受到暴风雪的袭击，这个地区面临着严重的水电短缺的问题，前面两个分句之间满意连词，所以前面一个分句不是橘子，由此可以排除D项。由于strike与句子主语the area之间构成被动关系，因此使用过去分词的形式。故A正确。
