单选题 The announcement of John Stanton's retirement was not well received by most of the staff members, but Leslie, his long time friend and colleague, was extremely ______ to hear that Mr. Stanton will now be able to enjoy some leisure time.
A. happiest B. happily C. happier D. happy

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题需选择适当的词形。横线处所填单词被副词extremely修饰,且充当was的表语,故选形容词。be happy to do sth为固定句型。
