She has never been to the Great Wall before.Today she saw it ___ the first time.
A.at B.for C.in D.by
答案是选B,但我想知道A为什么不对.
还有就是这四个选项中的短语都成立吗,如果成立的话该怎么用呢?请分别说明,

at the first time 是介词短语,是“在第一次” 强调顺序.for the first time 是第一次,是个副词短语,在句子中做状语,强调的是首次.in the first time好像没有这个用法,by the first是“在第一次以前”.哦,原来是这样。我还想问下有没有would better ... than...这种用法?
