How careless it was _______ Millie to make _______ many silly mistakes in the Math

exam!

A.of; so

B.for; such

C.for; so

D.of; such

答案

答案:A

题目分析:本题的含义是 Millie真粗心在数学测验中犯了许多愚蠢的错误。表示个人性格特征或品质的形容词逻辑主语通常用of连接,such通常修饰名词,但名词前有many等代词时通常使用so来修饰,故本题选A。

点评:在英文中应注意形容词的逻辑主语表示品质通常用of,表示其它通常用for,so后通常修饰形容词或副词,但后跟many或much等单词时,也可以修饰名词,注意它们的使用和区别。
