单选题
The pictures of the Loch Ness Monster show a remarkable resemblance to a plesiosaur, a large water reptile of the Mesozoic era {{U}}presuming{{/U}} extinct for more than 70 million years.
A、
supposed
B、
presumably
C、
presumptuous
D、
is presumed
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】
[分析] 副词应用。 Suppose和presume均表“假定,认为”,但presume更侧重“猜想”;presuming作形容词时,与presumptuous是同义词,表“专横的’,但在本句中presuming不是形容词,而是分词,修饰形容词extinct,表“假定的”,故选项B.presumably“大概”是答案。
