单选题
LAPD reported that the middle-aged man had been apprehended at the scene ______ after the accident.
A. shortly
B. rightly
C. presently
D. likely
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】中级问题 空格内应填入修饰后面“介词+名词”的副词。4个选项都是副词(likely可以是形容词或副词)，因此都有可能是正确答案。如果知道shortly after (刚……之后)这个高频短语，那么便可轻松解题。当然，把after换成before，就变成了“刚……之前”的意思。
[高频词语] shortly after…=right after…=soon after…=immediately after…刚……之后
