选项 A、place
B、phone
C、home
D、room
答案B
解析 语义衔接题。该句提到的是录音电话的留言提示，根据常识可知，当时主人一定无法接听电话，所以提示打电话者留言——If you want us to call you back，please leave your name and number after the beep，(如果想让我们回电话，在听到嘟的一声后，请留下姓名和电话)。根据上下文的意思，此话是主人不在家时电话的录音内容。因此正确选项是phone，表示不能接电话之意。place，home，room都是表示地点的名词，与phone相比，这些词都过于笼统，不能准确传递信息。
