Question

【题目】The person in charge of the meeting asked the people present to sit ____ together and listen ____.

A. closely; close B. close; closely

C. close; close D. closely; closely

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】

试题句意：负责会议的那个人要求出席大会的人坐近些，认真聆听。Close和closely做副词时，close表示“靠近”、“紧紧地”，closely则表示“严密地”、“密切地”。根据语境可知坐近些强调距离，而听应该是强调程度，故B项最佳。
