题目

although we had told them not to keep us waiting,they made no___to speed up deliveries
a,trial b,attempt c,action d,progress
为什么选b?理由分别是什么 a不行吗

答案

选b正确.
句子意思：
尽管我们已经告诉过他不要让我们等待,但是他们并没有尝试/设法加速交货.
选项辨析：
a,trial 试验；努力
b,attempt 试图；企图；尝试；打算
c,action 行动；活动
d,progress 进步；进展
根据句子意思和词汇用法搭配,有个固定搭配：make an/no attempt to do sth.
因此,排除其它选项.
祝你开心如意!
