问题
单项选择题
This problem should be discussed first, for it takes ______ over all the other issues.
A. precedence
B. prosperity
C. presumption
D. probability
答案
参考答案:A
解析: A选项precedence的意思是“优先、居先”,短语precedence over的意思是“居于……之前”,如:National defense must take precedence over all other questions. 国防应优先考虑。B选项take prosperity“繁荣”;C选项presumption“假定”;D选项probability“可能性”,都与句意不符。本句空格处意为这个问题应优先考虑。因此A选项为正确答案。
