14. There were about 20 candidates ______ for the sales manager's job.
A. competing
B. approaching
C. engaging
D. motivating

题目解答

答案

本题考察词义辨析与语境匹配。句意为“约有20名候选人正在竞争销售经理的职位”。需要填入一个词修饰“candidates”，并能与“for the sales manager's job”搭配。

  • A. competing：竞争，符合“竞争职位”的语境。
  • B. approaching：接近，不符合“竞争职位”的含义。
  • C. engaging：参与，但不如“competing”贴切。
  • D. motivating：激励，与句意不符。
    综合分析，只有“competing”能准确表达“竞争职位”的含义。
    完整句子为：There were about 20 candidates competing for the sales manager's job.

答案：A. competing
