选项 A、retail
B、drug
C、grocery
D、book
答案 A
解析    本题考点为词义辨析。
   (1)句式分析。
   原句中，Duchess作主语，can sell out作谓语，a fashion line作宾语，in 24 hours just by wearing…from a______store…作状语，其中“by wearing a dress or sweater from a ______store”作方式状语。
   (2)句意判断。
   依据上下文，本句意为“即使公爵夫人穿着从零售店买的裙子或毛衣参加公共活动，同款的衣服24小时内就可能被抢购一空”。买衣服肯定是去商场或零售店，故此空应填retail。
   【知识拓展】(1)词汇拓展。
   表示“商店、商场、店”的词：department store，mall，whole sell store，market，bazaar, emporium，commercial port，shopping center, market place，shoemaker, tailoring，shop，supermarket，clothing store，furniture shop，convenience store等。
   (2)语法拓展：上义词(hypernym)与下义词(hyponym)。
   上义词是对事物进行概括性、抽象性说明的词；下义词则是说明事物的具体表现形式的词。上义词是笼统词汇，下义词是具体词汇。如flower(花)是上义词，下义词则包括rose(玫瑰花)，lily(百合花)，lotus(荷花)，daffodil(水仙花)，carnation(康乃馨)，chrysanthemum(菊花)等。而当rose是上义词时，下义词则包括red rose(红玫瑰)，yellow rose(黄玫瑰)和white rose(白玫瑰)。
