问题
选择题
__________ fire, all exits must be kept clear.
A.In place of
B.Instead of
C.In case of
D.In spite of
答案
答案:C
C。比较:in place of意为“代替”,instead of意为“取代”“而不是”,in case of意为“万一”,in spite of意为“尽管”。根据句意,选C最佳。句中的clear为形容词,意思是“无阻塞的”“无障碍的”,如: Wait until the road is clear (of traffic) before crossing. 等路上无车辆来往时,再穿过马路。题干的意思是:万一发生火灾,所以出口必须清空。
