【C18】
选项 A、lingering
B、insisting
C、dwelling
D、adhering
答案C
解析 动词辨析题。句意为：过分嫉妒的人会长时间停留在这些场景中。首先排除adhering，adhere通常跟介词to搭配，而不是on。其他三个动词都可以跟on构成搭配，但含义有区别。linger on表示“停留，踌躇”，例如：But some students linger on in their dorm rooms．(但也有某些学生留在学校宿舍里。)insist on表示“坚持，坚决要求”；dwell on表示“详述；细想”，例如：dwell on ills or misfortunes(老是想着不幸或痛苦的事情)。通过比较各项意义，[C]符合句意。
