Question

The book ______ the public at once.

1. A.
   took a fancy to
2. B.
   had a fancy for
3. C.
   took the fancy of
4. D.
   took a fancy of

Answer 1

C
解析：
句意为“这本书一问世就引起了公众的喜爱”。take a fancy to“喜欢上，爱上”，不符合句意；have a fancy for“喜欢，想要”，不符合句意；take the fancy of“引起……的喜爱”，符合句意；take a fancy of此短语不存在。
