Aiming such services【C19】______tourists makes sense—since people are more likely to want information when in a(n) 【C20】______place. It could give mobile roaming a whole new meaning.
【C4】

选项 A、buy
B、park
C、rent
D、own

答案C

解析 上一句提及“他们回来以后就成立了一家公司”,再结合上文的“独自观光的游客会错过导游的讲解”,因此可推断游客应该是租他们公司有讲解功能的车出去旅游,故选C项rent“租赁”。
