单选题 ______the fierce competition in the shipping industry, Kingfisher Express remains the most successful cargo company in the region.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:此句主干成分完整:Kingfisher Express remains the…cargo company,故应将“______the fierce…industry”看成修饰成分。此修饰成分中缺少谓语动词,故选项中可引导修饰成分的介词(B)In spite of(尽管……)为正确答案。副词(A)Frequently(经常),状语从句引导词(C)As far as(就……而言),连接副词(D)Otherwise(否则)都不能在此处引导修饰成分。
