四選一
Before the freight leaves the warehouse, a supervisor must ____ the shipping labels.
看答案
inspect
本題在 freight 的物流情境中考動詞形式。must 後須接原形動詞 inspect,並以 the shipping labels 作受詞。inspection 是檢查這件事的名詞,inspector 是人員名詞,inspected 是過去式或過去分詞,均不符合 must 後的結構。
同義改寫
The freight on this truck consists of office furniture. → The goods being transported on this truck consist of office furniture.
此處 freight 指卡車運送的貨物;改寫明確保留運送情境,並配合複數 goods 將動詞改為 consist。
The estimate includes freight charges for these boxes. → The estimate includes the cost of transporting these boxes.
freight charges 在此就是運送這批箱子的費用;改寫保留估價所含項目,沒有增加付款承諾。
