Which of the following phrases suggests that something is in a state of being likely to happen or appear very soon?
答案解析
核心考点说明:本题考察对短语的理解,特别是“on the horizon”的含义。解题思路分析:根据题干描述“likely to happen or appear very soon”,可以直接对应到on the horizon的含义。选项分析:A. On the decline意为“在下降”,与题意相反;B. On the horizon意为“即将发生”,符合题意;C. On the sidelines意为“袖手旁观”,不符合题意;D. On the back burner意为“暂缓处理”,不符合题意。易错点提醒:注意区分“即将发生”和“衰落”、“暂缓”等其他状态的含义。
正确答案:B
