看答案

spray

本句是 please 引導的祈使句,須用原形動詞 spray。sprayed 是過去式或過去分詞,sprays 是第三人稱單數現在式,spraying 是分詞或動名詞,均不符合此處的祈使句結構。

同義改寫

The florist sprayed the display plants with water before opening the shop. → The florist applied water to the display plants in fine droplets before opening the shop.
改寫保留以細小水滴施水的方式,以及開店前對展示植物噴水的動作。
The event coordinator placed a spray of white flowers on the reception desk. → The event coordinator placed an arrangement of white flowers on the reception desk.
此處 spray 是花藝布置中的花飾,可改為 an arrangement of white flowers;花色、擺放者與位置不變。
