问题     A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night - Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.
    A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ s fire drill has already revealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exist a number of "deaf spots" in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom Corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.
    I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out(at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result in fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation. [br] The last fire drill caused much more inconvenience because______.
选项 A、it was in bad weather
B、there were "deaf spots"
C、a big fire started
D、it was at the weekend
答案 A
解析 本题属于事实细节题，提问的是上次的消防演习之所以带来更多不便的原因。根据文章第一段第二句话“A fire drill at 2：00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions，like the one we had on Thursday night——Friday morning last，is incomparably more inconvenient”，上次的消防演习之所以会带来更多的不便主要是因为演习发生在凌晨2点，而且当时天气状况恶劣。故选项A)符合题意。
