Skyscrapers are also enormous【C3】______. and wasters, of electric power.

选项
A、affect
B、assist
C、protect
D、benefit
答案
A
解析
本题测试词义搭配。affect意为“影响,对……起作用”;assist意为“帮助,援助”;protect意为“保护,保卫”:benefit意为“有利于,有助于”。前面的句子说raise the temperature of the surrounding air,所填之词的宾语是neighboringbuildings,说明本句话讲的是摩天大楼的弊端,所以应选A。
