349. Few insects feed their young after hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch. The word "provisioning" is closest in meaning to which of following? (A) supplying (B) preparing (C) building (D) expanding 請問一下這一題答案問什麼是 B 剛剛查了一下字典 provision 有 供應 與 預備的意思 我本來是選 A 但我覺得 A B好像都可以 煩請強者解答一下 感謝~~ succeeding generations of poets and readers. The word "succeeding" is closest in meaning to which of following? (A) inheriting (B) prospering (C) diverse (D) later 另外這題答案是 D 但 A 為何不行? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 42.72.125.147 ※ 編輯: XXJAPANXX 來自: 42.72.125.147 (11/26 11:55)

prepare是預先準備好的狀態。supply有一種持續供應感。

從上下文得知該insect是在產卵時準備好麻痺昆蟲和蜘蛛。

而非持續的供應。所以prepare較supply更貼近句意

inheriting帶有遺傳上基因上繼承的意味,而later,succeeding

都是純時間上的後續,不帶有額外的血統傳承意味。
