—I’m sorry to hear that.

A. put out; pass byB. put out; pass away

C. put out; passed awayD. put on; passed away

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

句意：——真是噩耗！四川省连山州发生大火。许多消防队员去那里灭火，但是30名消防队员不幸去世。——听到这个我很难过。put out扑灭，pass by经过，put on穿上，pass away去世。根据the fire可知此处表示灭火，故用put out。根据unfortunately可知表示不幸的事，应是30名消防队员去世。根据went可知此处用一般过去时，故选C。
