Question

There is no reasoning with such a      woman as Lucy. You might as well talk to a stone as try to argue with her.

A．stubborn

B．shabby

C．merciful

D．pessimistic

Answer 1

A

考查形容詞辨析。stubborn頑固地，倔強(qiáng)的。merciful仁慈的，寬大的。shabby，邋遢和，骯臟的，破舊的。pessimistic悲觀的。本句意為：跟露西這和固執(zhí)的人講理簡直是不可能的事。你與其跟她爭吵，還不如對一塊石頭說話。
