-_________________________________________.

A.Practice makes perfectB.A miss is as good as a mile

C.Never say bad words about others behindD.No pains, no gains

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】

句意：——他几乎被选为主席。可惜的是，一个小小的错误失去了他很大的机会。——失之毫厘，谬以千里。A. Practice makes perfect熟能生巧；B. A miss is as good as a mile失之毫厘，谬以千里；C. Never say bad words about others behind不要说别人坏话；D. No pains, no gains没有付出就没有收获。根据上文He was nearly chosen as the chairperson. What a pity a small mistake cost him the great chance.可知下文是A miss is as good as a mile。故选B。
