单选题
In January the Swiss National Bank abandoned its attempts to stop the franc from appreciating against the euro by printing and selling francs in vast quantities instead it resorted to negative interest rates to deter investors from buying francs.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】解析：【改正】In January the Swiss National Bank abandoned its attempts to stop the franc from appreciating against the euro by printing and selling francs in vast quantities；instead… In January…quantities和it…francs为由instead连接的两个完整句，instead前缺少标点符号，所以是流水句错误。instead表示“取而代之”，且位于句中时，通常与前面的内容用分号隔开或与前后内容用逗号隔开。
