18. Although his once ____ army now had less than 50,000 men who were tired and hungry, they had to defend a line almost 60 kilometers long.
A. A pretty
B. mighty
题目解答
答案
B. mighty
解析
此题考察的是词汇选择。根据句子的意思，尽管他曾经强大的军队现在只剩下不到5万名疲惫不堪、饥肠辘辘的士兵，但他们仍然要防守一条将近60公里长的防线。这里需要一个形容词来描述曾经的军队，"mighty"（强大的）符合语境，而"pretty"（漂亮的）不符合语境。
