单选题
Because the human resources director was on leave, Ms. Hong was asked to interview candidates for the managerial position ______ herself.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 反身代词
根据上下文语义,此处表示“亲自前去面试应聘者”,故这里填入的词要与反身代词herself搭配构成意为“亲自,自己去”的短语,故应使用by herself,因此选B. by。作为参考,与by oneself意思相近的还有alone和on one"s own。on leave(休假中)是固定搭配。
