The pictures of the Loch Ness Monster show

问题单项选择题

The pictures of the Loch Ness Monster show a remarkable resemblance to a plesiosaur, a large water reptile of the Mesozoic era presuming extinct for more than 70 million years.

A．supposed

B．presumably

C．presumptuous

D．is presumed

答案

参考答案：B

解析：副词应用。Suppose和presume均表“假定，认为”，但presume更侧重“猜想”；presuming作形容词时，与presumptuous是同义词，表“专横的”，但在本句中presuming不是形容词，而是分词，修饰形容词extinct，表“假定的”，故选项B．presumably“大概”是答案。
