四選一
The project manager is cautiously ____ about completing the installation on schedule.
看答案
optimistic
is 後需要描述經理態度的形容詞，cautiously 修飾 optimistic。optimism 是抽象名詞，不能構成此處的 is cautiously optimism；optimistically 是副詞，無法單獨作此處的主詞補語；optimists 是複數人物名詞，與單數主詞及句型不合。
同義改寫
Mina is optimistic about the team's chances of finishing on time. → Mina feels hopeful and confident about the team's chances of finishing on time.
feels hopeful and confident 表達 optimistic 的期待與信心，兩句都描述態度，未保證團隊一定準時完成。
The supervisor remains cautiously optimistic about the new training program. → The supervisor remains hopeful about the new training program while still recognizing that it may not succeed.
改寫保留 cautiously optimistic 的兩層意思：仍抱持希望，同時知道結果尚不確定。
