the second paragraph.

should be C and there is a 'that' in the original question.

there you go! girl.

I have the feeling that, in order to make the questions harder , GWD very often revises the original sentences and makes them more  confusing and more controversial. I am not sure whether its intention is wise.

觉得C那个it was closing是在表示一个打算吧?
