单选题 They had planned to go outing this weekend, but they finally had to ______ it because of the
rainy weather.

A、 cancel
B、 eliminate
C、 delay
D、 prolong

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 本题空格处是说他们最后不得不取消计划。A项cancel“取消，删去”符合题意，如：I cancelled many unnecessary words in my manuscript．我把我原稿许多不需要的字删去了。其他三项eliminate“排除，消除”：delay“耽搁，延迟”：prolong“延长，拖延”都不正确。
