选项
A、alternative
B、option
C、substitute
D、preference
答案
A
解析
名词辨析。alternative可供选择的事物,替换物;option选择;substitute代替品;preference对…的喜爱/偏爱。这句是过渡句,在讲述公立学校的问题后,作者反问是否还有其他选择,进而过渡到这段主要讲述私立学校的好处。alternative常与to连用,an alterative to sth./doing"对某事的其他选择",其他不合文意或搭配。option常与of 连用;substitute常与for连用;preference常与to或for连用,在此处不合题意。
