四選一
The repair shop remained ____ throughout its first year of operation.
看答案
profitable
remained 後用形容詞 profitable 描述維修店持續處於獲利狀態。profitably 是副詞；profitability 指獲利能力，profit 指利潤，兩個名詞都不能在此表示店家的狀態；profit 作動詞也不符合此句結構。
同義改寫
The delivery service was profitable last quarter. → The delivery service made a profit last quarter.
此處 was profitable 與 made a profit 都表示該服務在上一季有獲利。
The branch became profitable in June. → The branch started making a profit in June.
became profitable 表示開始進入獲利狀態，改寫保留六月這個轉變時間。
