四選一

The receptionist wore a blue ____ over her shirt during the morning shift.

  • sweater's
  • sweater
  • sweaters'
  • sweaters
看答案

sweater

a blue 後需要表示一件衣物的單數名詞,因此選 sweater。sweaters 是複數,不能搭配 a;sweater's 與 sweaters' 是所有格,本句沒有可供其修飾或省略代指的所屬事物。

同義改寫

Before entering the chilly meeting room, Jia put on her sweater. → Before entering the chilly meeting room, Jia slipped on her sweater.
put on 與 slipped on 在此都描述把毛衣穿上的動作;slipped on 語氣較輕鬆自然。
The shop assistant placed the folded sweater on the display table. → The shop assistant set the folded sweater on the display table.
placed 與 set 在此都表示將摺好的毛衣放到展示桌上,物品與位置相同。
