单选题
How long were they probably away from home that evening?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 题目在问那个晚上他们大概离开家有多长时间。短文最后一段中第一句话“The play started at eight o'clock and finished at half past ten”意思是“剧8点开演10点半结束”可以知道他们离开家的时间可能为三个小时左右。所以[A]half an hour“半小时”肯定错误;[B]ten and a half hours“10个半小时”亦为错误,相比较[C]a few hours“几个小时”更为确切。
