(A) perched
(B) situated
(C) perching
(D) situating

perched    位於高處

situated    處於、坐落

happiness 幸福

atop  所以用 perch

那為什麼用過去分詞呢

小弟拙見，應該為【被】位於，屬實被動被列於，所以才用過去分詞

What was this country, adrift in the freezing North Atlantic,doing perched atop the world's happiness rankings?

是什麼讓這個漂浮於北大西洋的國家，居於世界快樂排名榜首？

perch　棲息於，停留於／位於高處(動詞)

atop 在....的頂上(介係詞)

過去分詞：表動詞狀態的完成，所以用perched(已經位在世界榜首)，而不是perching？還請高人指點，謝謝
