【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】解析：根据上下文语义，此处意为“需要额外的时间来考虑不同的______”，所有选项都可作为备选答案。作答时不能仅根据空格所在句进行选择，而应对全文进行整体把握。原文后半部分说到正在考虑其他开发商推荐的房源，故可以推知写信人希望能有多一些时间来考虑不同的房源。因此名词(A)properties(房地产)为正确答案。(B)furniture意为“家具”，(C)technology意为“技术”，(D)instructions意为“说明，指示”。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】解析：根据上下文语义，此处意为“对农场的用地尚未______”，故(A)uninformed(无知的)，(C)undecided(未决定的)为备选答案。作答时不能仅根据空格所在句进行选择，而应对邻近的上下文进行把握。原文后半部分说到为了审查所有的提议至少需要两周的时间，并称会尽快告知其决定，故可以推知写信人对于农场的用地尚未做出决定。因此形容词(C)undecided(未决定的)为正确答案。如选择(A)uninformed(无知的)，则语义不通顺。(B)enlightened意为“启发的”，(D)outspoken意为“直言不讳的”。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】解析：修饰作主语的先行词quotations的定语从句that…above中缺少谓语动词，故动词(B)和(D)为备选答案。主格关系代词that所替代的先行词quotations为复数形式，所以谓语动词应使用动词原形，(D)specify(写清楚)为正确答案。动名词(A)与名词(C)都不能充当谓语动词。作为参考，you gave us是对先行词quotations进行修饰的另一个关系从句，对正确答案的选择没有任何影响。
