It is hard to imagine a large city without policemen, but such was the ______ in London in the early 18th century. A．condition B．affair C．environment D．situation

Answer 1

D

近形近义题。几个选项的意思是：situation“情况，处境”；condition“条件，状况”；affair“事情，事件”；environment“环境，周围情况”。condition和situation辨析：condition指事物或人所处的环境或由其他原因产生的特殊情况；situation指一个特定时期内的形势或局面，这种状况一般由相关的综合环境条件决定。本句的意思是：很难想象一个大城市没有警察，但是十八世纪初的伦敦就是这样。
