Choose the correct temporal adverb: Newspapers became mainstream ______ the 19th century, while television dominated ______ the mid-20th century.
答案解析
核心考点:时间副词辨析
解题思路:时间段前用during表持续状态,具体时间点用in。before/since需搭配完成时态。
选项分析:B为正确答案。during+世纪(长期过程),in+具体时间(mid-20th century为时间点)。A错在since后需用完成时。C逻辑矛盾(报纸不可能在19C后成为主流)。D语法错误(since需搭配完成时)。
易错点:易混淆since(需主句完成时)与during(简单过去时)的用法区别。
正确答案:B
