A、wider
B、broader
C、rarer
D、scarcer
答案
B
解析
broader此题属于语意搭配题。选项[B]broader表示“宽的,广阔的”,例如:broad shoulders(宽阔的肩膀);也可用于表示“(发音方面的)带……口音的,……口音重的”,即(of a way ofspeaking)strongly marked,例如:a broad accent(带着明显的……口音)。因此[B]是正确答案。选项[A]wider表示“宽松的,广泛的”(covering a large space or range ofthings),例如:a wide skirt(宽松的裙子);又如:wide interests(广泛的兴趣)。选项[C]rarer和选项ED]scarcer都表示“稀少的”。全句可译为:越往北去,方言的差异通常比英国南部更大。
