Passage: “The new app promises to change how students revise. It is a bold claim, though one cannot help wondering how many will abandon it by the second week.” The writer's tone is best described as —
A. enthusiastic
B. sarcastic
C. cautious and sceptical✓ 答案
D. completely indifferent
解說
讓步結構 “It is a bold claim, though…” 加上含蓄疑問 “one cannot help wondering” 表示保留與質疑,屬 cautious / sceptical。文中冇挖苦或反諷的語言特徵,所以唔係 sarcastic;亦冇熱情支持的措辭。
