Question

We made plans for a visit but _____ difficulties with the car prevented it.

A．consequent	B．subordinate
C．substantial	D．subsequent

Answer 1

　D

　　subsequent(="later," following)隨后得，接著發(fā)生的：subsequent events（隨后發(fā)生的事件）。consequent(作為結(jié)果)而隨之發(fā)生的：His long illness and consequent absence put him behind in his work.根據(jù)題意，本題用subsequent更妥。
