One lunchtime, May Ward was doing her shopping in a local supermarket, when she suddenly slipped and fell. She was badly shaken and bruised but【C1】______ nothing serious resulted. It turned out that she has slipped on some ice-cream which had been spilled on the floor. Two weeks later she wrote to the firm to claim compensation.
She asserted that they had been negligent and【C2】______ in not keeping the floor clean. The firm denied it and【C3】______ that they had a proper system and【C4】______ for keeping the floor clean.
Since Mrs. Ward felt that she was【C5】______ to compensation, she sued the firm in the Law Courts. Here the firm claimed that it did not follow, just because someone has slipped on the floor, that they must have been negligent carrying out their duties. They said that unless the customer could prove how the ice-cream came to be on the floor, and how long it had been left there before the accident happened, she had not made out a proper【C6】______ against them. But the judge took a different view. He said that the accident would not have happened at all if the firm had taken【C7】______ care. It was up to the firm, he said, to provide【C8】______ , that the accident did not【C9】______ from any negligence on their part. They would【C10】______ be in a better position than the customer to establish how long the ice-cream had been spilt and explain the circumstances to the Courts. The final result was that Mrs. Ward received £137 as payment for damages.
A) reasonable B) obviously C) evidence D) case
E) innocent F) inconvenience G) derive H) maintained
I) entitled J) arise K) careless L) unexpectedly
M) determine N) fortunately O) instructions [br] 【C10】
选项
答案
B
解析
空格位于would和be之间,应为副词。上文提到,法官认为得由公司提供证据,再结合本句后面的better position,可知公司提供证据肯定比消费者要容易,obviously符合句意。
