单选题
The shop-assistant was straightforward with his customers. If an article was of ______ quality he"d tell them so.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题是说这位售货员对他的顾客们很诚实。如果一件商品的质量差,他会如实地告诉他们。D项“inferior(to)劣等的,次的;下等的,下级的”符合题意。(be inferior to比……差;地位比……低如:Foreign mutton is inferior to home-grown in flavour.)其他三项中,miserable痛苦的,悲惨的,可怜的;minor较小的,较少的,较次要的;subordinate(to)次要的;下级的,隶属的,都不符合题意。所以,本题选D。
