A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol 【C3】______ or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or 【C4】______ of whisky drank within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be a (n) 【C5】______ part of the American macho image and judges were, lenient in most courts, but the drunken 【C6】______ has recently caused so many tragedies, especially involving children, 【C7】______ public opinion is no longer tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the 【C8】______ drinking age to 21, rather than 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-to-20-year old drivers more than 【C9】______ , so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear 【C10】______ the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational 【C11】______ to help young people to develop "responsible attitudes" and teach them to resist 【C12】______ pressure to drink.

选项
A、largely
B、greatly
C、obviously
D、apparently
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。A largely“大体上”;B greatly“很,非常”;C obviously“明显地,显而易见地”;D apparently“明显地”,根据句子结构,此句表达的意思是“向一个明显喝醉酒的顾客提供至少6杯双份威士忌”,首先排除A 和B 选项。C 和D 选项虽然都表示“明显地”,但是obviously强调的是很容易看出或理解的;而apparently强调的是表面上的, (事物)表现出来的貌似(真实)的,未必真实的。根据句子意思,应选C 。
