Over 13 stories, Mr Burnside shows the versatility of the condensed【C7】________His stories take place mostly in Scotland, in flats "high up on the third floor of an apartment block in the middle of Dundee" or in the back room of a hardware shop,【C8】________men drink "sweet, milky coffee"【C9】________waiting for the results of the races.

选项
A、as
B、about
C、with
D、by
答案
A
解析
上句提到的“喝酒、在当地教堂敲钟或幻想年轻男子”应是作为消磨时光的一种方式,故答案选A项as“作为”。B项about“关于”;C项with“和”与D项by“通过……的方式”代入,句意都不通顺,故排除。
