He cared deeply for the poor, and particularly【C4】______ to children. He brought various gifts, money and other useful items to the houses of the poor. He did this at night, and in【C5】______ , so that no one knew,【C6】______ he wanted no glory, he just wanted to help people. He became widely known for his generosity.

选项
A、barely
B、almost
C、easily
D、tightly
答案
A
解析
副词辨义题。前句已对三姐妹的经济状况进行描述:The three sisters were very poor. 可推断该句意为“三姐妹几乎不能挣钱养活自己和老母亲”,故选择barely“仅仅,几乎不”合适。
