The leader of the party was examing the soil.He was (B)

问题描述:

The leader of the party was examing the soil.He was (B)
A.testing it B.looking at it carefully C.watching it D.trying it 为什么选的不是A,B不是看的很认真吗?那么跟题意的解释会不会太牵强了吧!

这道题主要考学生对同义词的掌握程度,exam的同义词是test,所以选A.
至于你提到的B,was examing the soil不一定用眼睛看啊,也可能是用仪器在测试呢?
