选项
A、used
B、apt
C、possible
D、probable
答案
B
解析
此题属于词语搭配题。选项apt:be apt to do sth.表示"倾向于,习惯于",例如:A careless person is apt to make mistakes.(一个粗心人往往犯错误)。因此[E]符合题意和语法。选项used:be used to sth./doing sth.表示"习惯于",例如:He has been used to the weather here.选项possible的用法是It is possible that...或It is possible for sb. to do sth,例如:It is possible that I shall go there tomorrow.选项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。
