We had been anticipating this maiden voyage for a full nine months, since the initial purchase of 109 acres of northern, forested property. The property included a large, deep, somewhat murky pond that we were eager to investigate. In late April, the wait for decent weather was over, even though the sky still held intermittent steel gray clouds and the thermometer registered a mere 54° F. We could wait no longer; Buck’s Pond was begging to be explored. Four adults and a precocious Golden Retriever gingerly climbed into the over-sized five-person canoe and, surprisingly, remained dry as the helmsman shoved us off the sandy launch. A bit of wind created ripples on the surface of the water, but we could only remark that this same breeze would be aiding us on our way back to shore; there was no room for any negative thoughts to mar our excitement and enthusiasm for this long-awaited adventure. [br] The passage indicates that the author would agree with which of the following statements?
选项
A、It is ill-advised to commence water explorations in winter.
B、Ponds are small bodies of water that are always easily traversed.
C、New adventures are never a cause of excitement and enthusiasm.
答案
A
解析
The best answer is A only. The exploration party waited until late April because of the weather. This implies that the author would agree that water explorations would be difficult in winter. Be wary of answer choices containing words such as "never" and "always."
