instrumental : to be important in making something happen. very important in helping or causing something to happen or be done. 同義字: helpful, useful, crucial... 沒有important? In addition, penicillin was [instrumental] in keeping wounds from getting infected and in helping to speed the healing process of those wounds that did become infected. (A) a tool (B) important (C) helpful ANS. (D) crucial 為什麼BD不對 網路上找的原文: One of the most important weapons used during the Second World War was not a weapon used against people, but rather a drug used against disease. The wartime use of penicillin(盤尼西林) saved thousands of lives. In the First World War, for example, pneumonia(肺炎) was responsible for eighteen percent of all the deaths in the United States army. In the Second World War, the rate went down to less than one percent. In addition, penicillin was instrumental in keeping wounds from getting infected and in helping to speed the healing process of those wounds that did become infected. 就選擇題來說 要選一個最好的答案 文法上 如果BCD都對 BD意思相同 表示要選C? (突然覺得A好像也可以 penicillin是用在某方面的工具?) helpful + in 似乎是比較標準的用法? 語意上 是不是 [有幫助的] 比 [重要的]合理? 又變成國文問題了... 所以本題無解? 問老師的結果是 他背過instrumental = helpful 不知道instrumental有重要的意思 所以直接選C 輕鬆寫意~ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.26.248.7 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Eng-Class/M.1440126722.A.F59.html ※ 編輯: blue5566 (114.26.248.7), 08/21/2015 11:13:21

我想指的是一種方法，而不是強調重要性。BD指的是重要性
