    D. remained; remaining to settle

答案解析：

1.    A。including为介词；由seat的用法可知，此处应用其过去分词形式。

2.    B。the +adj. 表示整体概念，谓语用复数。the old 指“老人”。

3.    D。There being no rain为 there be句型的独立主格形式。

4.    B。由and连接的两个单数名词作主语时，一般用复数形式，但and所连接的并列主语是同一个人，事物，或概念时，谓语动词用单数。这两种情况区分如下：a/the+单数名词+and+单数名词，指的是同一个人或物；a/the+单数名词+and+ a/the+单数名词，指两个人或物。

5.    B。第一个remaining用作形容词，作“剩下的”解；第二个remaining to be settled是-ing形式短语作定语。
