While people are used to seeing deals at Amazon, the present【C2】______is unusually deep. The booksellers’ newsletter Shelf Awareness【C3】______a rare Saturday issue about them, writing that the discounts were at "levels we’ve never seen in the history of Amazon." And according to Jack Mckeown, president of Books & Books Westhampton Beach in New York, it is an open【C4】______of war against the industry.

A)trimming B)retail C)evidently D)aggressive
E)staff F)promote G)misguided H)motivation
I)quest J)delivered K)declaration L)reckon
M)photographed N)enthusiastic O)faithfully [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
O
解析
空格位于不定式to和动词shop之间,据此可判断空格应为副词。词库中有两个副词,evidently“明显地,显然”和faithfully“忠诚地”,代入句中faithfully更符合句意,表明奥巴马总统总是去独立店买书,而不是在网上购书。
