单项选择题
The library she worked in lent books, magazines, audio-cassettes and maps to its customers, who could keep them for four weeks.
A.borrowers
B.lenders
C.patrons
D.clients
答案
参考答案:C
解析:[分析] 名词辨析。 customer,patron,client均指客户,顾客,但customer常指购买有形的商品,即指付钱后得到货物的顾客:client指长期客户,购买的是无形的服务(如付钱后让人为自己服务的客户);patron指老顾客,老主顾,如:a special offer for our regular patrons为老主顾而定的特别价,所以答案为C。而borrower借用人,剽窃者; lender出借人,贷方。
