You have made a few mistakes in your composition but ______ you have done well. A．as a whole B．on the whole C．on the other hand D．generally speaking

Answer 1

B

on the other hand或generally speaking与题意不符，因而排除C、D两项；as a whole意为“作为一个整体，总体上”。例如：We must consider these matters as a whole.（我们必须全盘来考虑这些事）；on the whole意为“大体上；基本上；总的来说”，例如：On the whole,I’m in favour of the idea.（大体来说，我赞成这个想法）。因而，正确答案为B。
