1.8 If someone is asked to "take a chance," what does it mean?A. To decide to do something with certainty of successB. To avoid taking any risksC. To make a decision knowing that it might be the wrong choiceD. To follow a set of instructions without question

本题考查对英文短语“take a chance”含义的理解。解题思路是明确每个选项的意思，然后将其与“take a chance”的常见释义进行对比。

• 选项A：“To decide to do something with certainty of success”意思是在确定会成功的情况下决定做某事。而“take a chance”并不意味着有十足的把握成功，所以A选项不符合。
• 选项B：“To avoid taking any risks”是避免承担任何风险。“take a chance”本身就有冒险的意思，与避免风险相悖，所以B选项错误。
• 选项C：“To make a decision knowing that it might be the wrong choice”表示明知道可能是错误的选择但还是做出决定，这与“take a chance”冒险去做某事，即使可能会失败的含义相符，所以C选项正确。
• 选项D：“To follow a set of instructions without question”是毫无质疑地遵循一套指示。这与“take a chance”表达的主动冒险去尝试的意思不同，所以D选项不正确。
