单选题
If the candidate can get the support of the women voters, he ______ a
good chance of winning the next election.
A. grasps
B. stands
C. grips
D. speculates
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】stand a good chance of“很有可能……”,是固定用法;the chance of doing“干……的可能性”,the chance to do“干……的机会”,所以不能选grasp而理解成“抓住做……的机会”;grip“紧握”;speculate“推测,推断”。题句意为:“如果这个候选人能赢得妇女的选票的话,就很有可能在下一次选举中获胜。”
