    When she got home, with her small well-chosen present【S9】______in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially【S10】______mood, "Your father has at last to decide to stop smoking." She informed her daughter.

答案 B

解析 由did not可知该空需填一个动词原形,由冒号后的表示解释说明的句子:虽然她的父亲只是偶尔抽烟斗,但她知道这个礼物一定能让他高兴,可知她是没有犹豫太长时间就决定买,所以选hesitate。
