单选题 So many children have bought the balloons that the store is now out of ______.
A. stuff B. material C. stock D. staff

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题是说这么多的孩子购买气球,以至于商店没有库存了。C项“stock n.库存,现货,备料,如:have sth. in stock‘有存货’;sth. is out of stock;The store is out of stock of sth.‘没有存货”’与题意相符。其他三项中,stuff“原料,材料,东西”;material“原料,材料;资料,素材”;staff“全体职工,全体人员;参谋部”,都与题意不符。
