Store your toothbrush in an upright position, and let 15 air dry.
答案:(A) it
【代名詞】it 代替前面提到的單數名詞 toothbrush,表示「讓它風乾」。one 泛指同類但非同一物;the 為冠詞非代名詞;which 為關係代名詞,不可單獨作受詞使用於此句構。
let 後面該接什麼你大概不會卡,真正讓人猶豫的是 it 與 one 好像都能代替前面的 toothbrush,一時分不出來。
這是指標勾環:空格要的是一個回指前面東西的代名詞。先看結構,let 後面要接受詞再接原形動詞,所以空格是 let 的受詞;再問這個受詞指的是誰——同一句前半的 your toothbrush,而且是「你自己那一支」這一支特定的牙刷,所以用 it。填進去讀成 let it air dry(讓它自然風乾)。鑑別度只有 16,是本批最低的一題,但它本身不難:let 後面接受詞再接原形動詞是課本教過的句型,各種程度的人都答得出來,題目自然分不出高低。
one 代替的是「同類當中的任何一個」(I need a pen. Do you have one?),這一句講的是你手上那一支,不是隨便一支;the 是限定詞,後面一定要接名詞,不能單獨站著當受詞;which 是關係代名詞或疑問詞,前面既沒有逗號也沒有問句結構,接不上去。
let + 受詞 + 原形動詞(讓某人或某物做某事)、air dry(自然風乾)、in an upright position(直立擺放)、it 與 one 的分工(it 指前面提過的那一個;one 指同類中的任一個)、store(存放、擺放)、share(共用)。
