B. in favor of
解析
本题考查短语辨析,解题思路是理解题干的逻辑关系,即车主和使用公共交通的人对某件事的态度是相反的,然后分析各个选项的含义,选出符合语境的选项。
- 题干中提到“Car owners will probably be against it”,意思是车主可能会反对这件事,而“but”表示转折,说明使用公共交通的人的态度应该是支持的。
- 选项A:“in advance of”表示“在……之前;提前”,例如“He arrived in advance of the others.”(他比其他人提前到达。),该短语与支持或反对的态度无关,不符合语境。
- 选项B:“in favor of”表示“支持;赞成”,例如“Most people are in favor of the new policy.”(大多数人赞成这项新政策。),符合使用公共交通的人对这件事的态度,该选项正确。
- 选项C:“in an attempt to”表示“试图;企图”,例如“He climbed the tree in an attempt to catch the bird.”(他爬上树试图抓住那只鸟。),该短语也与支持或反对的态度无关,不符合语境。
