Though the firefighters tried very hard to _______ the fire，it still caused at least five people's death.
A. put off
B. put out
C. put on
D. put forward
题目解答
答案
B. put out
解析
此题考查的是短语动词的辨析。根据题干，消防员努力扑灭火灾，但火灾仍然导致至少五人死亡。这里需要一个表示“扑灭”的短语动词。选项中，put off 意为“推迟”，put out 意为“扑灭”，put on 意为“穿上”，put forward 意为“提出”。因此，正确答案是 put out。
