单选题 A business letter should be written in a formal style ______ in a personal one.
A. better than B. rather than C. other than D. less than

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】本句的意思是:信函应用正式文体书写,而不用私人信件形式。“rather than”意为“而不是”,“otherthan”意为“不同于,除了”,所以选B。再例:I cameall the way to your place for explaining this mattes。to yourather than for quarreling with you.我赶到你这儿来是为了向你解释件事的,不是来吵架的。He,ratherthan you,should do the work.该做这项工作的是他,而不是你。
