As the show Readers has been well received, ______more than 200 people were pictured lining up outside the Shanghai Library, a library equipped with professional recording devices, on March 4, to read aloud their favorite poems, essays and books.

A、 a chunk of
B、 a deal of
C、 a throng of
D、 a row of

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】解析：句意：《朗读者》节目大受欢迎，3月4日上海图书馆外，200多人被拍到站成一排大声朗读自己最喜欢的诗歌、散文、书籍。throng指一大群人。a chunk of一大块，如a chunk of meat。a deal of很多，但只能修饰不可数名词，故不能用来修饰people。a roll of一卷，如a roll of film一卷胶卷。故C正确。
