题目解答
答案
A. The person is likely or inclined to do something.
解析
本题考查对单词“prone”含义的理解。解题思路是明确“prone”这个单词的准确释义，然后将各选项内容与该释义进行对比分析。
- “prone”常见释义为“倾向于；易于” ，所以 “a person is described as 'prone' to do something” 意思就是这个人很有可能或者倾向于做某事。
- 选项 “The person is loyal and supportive” 表达的是忠诚和支持，这与 “prone” 的含义没有关联。
- 选项 “The person is cautious and careful” 表示谨慎小心，和 “prone” 所表达的倾向于做某事的意思相反。
- 选项 “The person is unpredictable and erratic” 指不可预测和反复无常，也不符合 “prone” 的意思。
