surest ways to store wealth at a time after neighborhood banks existed. 6.______

选项
答案
main——major
解析
本题为形容词误用。main与major是近义词,都含有主要的意思。但main意为“主要的”,强调事物的某一部分、分支的重要性、大小及潜力优于其他部分、分支,或表示该部分在整个事物中占有显赫的地位。如:This article has in the main preserved the fairness of news reporting.该文章大体上保留了新闻报道所用的不偏不倚的风格。major意为“重大的,主要的”,指在规模、数量、重要性方面超出同类的其他事物。如:John has also played a major part in the improvement of the paper.约翰在改进这份报纸的工作中也起了较大的作用。此处表示重要城市,应当用major。
