这题答案是C，为什么不选A 呢，我看NN们讨论说A有歧义，可是我看不出来哪里有歧义呀，it优先指代主语就是指代the radio呀？？ 作者: silent7706 时间: 2010-5-27 08:45

還有一個小的歧義 就是"a tool for private conversation"A中a tool跟在telephone後面 然而根據句子的意思 應該是修飾radio而不是telephone。作者: greatbelief 时间: 2010-5-27 09:10 这个句子翻译一下会发现有歧义，说的是这个构想是一种替代，而且动词优于抽象名词，所以可以先把A排除，况且其他选项都是动词形式的。作者: 56summer 时间: 2010-5-27 11:21
