A．in detail

B．in brief

C．in short

D．in all

Answer 1

 B

]in brief(="in" a few words)簡短地（作狀語）,例如：He told me in brief what had happened.（他簡短地向我講了已發(fā)生地事情。）此處in brief等于briefly。此處，in brief(="in" a word, in short)簡言之（作插入語）1)It is a long letter, but in brief, he says "No".(這是一封長信，但簡言之，他說“不”。) 2)John is smart, polite, and well-behaved. In brief, he is admirable.此句中in brief意為in a word 或in short. in short作插入語，其意思是in a word(總之)。In detail詳細(xì)地。In all總計，總共：There are 20 in all.
