As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are【C15】______to think about it--and certainly not to talk about it【C16】______the presence of someone who is dying.

选项
A、better than
B、rather than
C、less than
D、other than
答案
B
解析
此题属于语法题。rather than 是并列连词,可以连接形容诃、动词、名词、副词、不定式等,其意为“不是这样而是那样”。例如:(1)China’s industrialization needs a lot of scientists rather than a few.(2)I prefer to work rather than remain idle.我宁愿工作而不愿闲着。文中此句意思为:老年人愿花时间谈论过去,而不太愿谈及将来,故选项[B] rather than正确。选项[A] better than (比…好);选项[C]less than (比……少);选项[D] other than意为“不同于……,除了……”,例如:(1)The truth is quite other than what you think. (2)We missed the last bus so there was no choice other than to walk home.
