A、used
B、apt
C、possible
D、probable
答案
B
解析
apt此题属于词语搭配题。选项[B]apt:be apt to do sth.表示“倾向于,习惯于”,例如:Acareless person is apt to make mistakes.(一个粗心人往往犯错误)。因此[B]符合题意和语法。选项[A]used:be used to sth./doing sth.表示“习惯于”,例如:He has been usedto the weather here.选项[C]possible的用法是It is possible that...或It is possible forsb.to do sth.,例如:It is possible that I shall go there tomorrow.选项[D]probable用法为:Something.is probable或It is probable that...,例如:It is probable that it will rain.这三项都与原句不符,故选[B]。
