四選一
The designer had already ____ her lips before the presenter finished explaining the revision.
看答案
pursed
had already 後接過去分詞，構成過去完成式，因此選 pursed。purse 是原形，purses 是第三人稱單數形式，pursing 是現在分詞，都不能直接填入此處的完成式結構。
同義改寫
Before the meeting, Ms. Lin took a notebook out of her purse. → Before the meeting, Ms. Lin took a notebook out of her handbag.
此處 purse 指能裝筆記本的手提包，因此可換成 handbag；不把這個情境中的 purse 解作小錢包。
The designer pursed her lips while examining the revised logo. → The designer drew her lips together into a small round shape while examining the revised logo.
改寫描述 pursed her lips 的嘴唇動作，保留查看標誌的情境，沒有額外推斷她的情緒。
