An invention that could win the competition would lose no more than________every day.

选项

答案2.8 seconds

解析 能赢得这次比赛的发明,每天最多慢多久。依照顺序原则接着往后读,D段提到了英国政府出巨资,寻找解决问题的办法。“If timekeeper was the answer rand there could be other proposed solutions,since the money wasn’t only offered for timekeeper) ”这半句说明,如果时钟的发明能解决上述航海精确性的问题,那么“…then the error of the required timekeeping for achieving this goal needed to be within 2.8 seconds a day, which was considered impossible for any clock or watch at sea”,即这个时钟的误差需要控制在每天2.8秒以内。其中lose意为“(钟、表等)慢”,对应error,no more than对应within,every day对应a day。因此,本题的答案为2.8 seconds。
