本題的癥結點在於片語with + O + OC的解構中 若O無法去做OC則OC要用被動，反之用主動的Ving
那thumb與finger 可否主動地形成a circle還是 被動地形成a circle?
其實都可以 只不過用法不同，因此不同的用法會對本題形成不同的答案。
根據查閱OALD/LDOCE/Cambridge/Webster/MacMillan
form 當Vt 解釋成"塑形"的用法主要為
1. 物 form 形狀
2. 人form 物 into 形狀 (也就是說= 物 be formed into 形狀 by 人)
因此
本題When I asked Sam if he could help me, he said OK, with his thumb and forefinger ______ a circle.
若採取"物form 形狀"的話 原本選項(D)應該是可以接受的
若採取"人form 物 into 形狀"的話 那選項(A) formed 則應該改成
(A) formed into

看來forming的確是可以選擇的答案
但若是要選formed的話 那是不是 要加上into
變成 formed into a circle 這樣才可以呢?
