There are still many problems ahead of us, but by this time next year we can see light at the end of the ________.

A. battle B. day C. road D. tunne

Answer 1

D tunnel
由句子意思可知，后面的分句为比喻用法，意思是：透过困难看到希望。四个选项中只有tunnel一词有此喻意，tunnel本意为“隧道”，比喻困难。see light at the end of the tunnel为惯用搭配，意为“看到希望，看到曙光”，故选D。
