Question

—Sounds good.

A.don’t put your eggs in one basket B.the early bird catches the worm

C.actions speak louder than words D.something is better than nothing

Answer

A

【解析】

句意：——我知道你对得到那份工作很有信心，但是记住“不要孤注一掷”。那么为什么不把你的申请表寄给更多的公司呢？——听上去不错。

考查习语。don’t put your eggs in one basket不要孤注一掷；the early bird catches the worm早起的鸟儿有虫吃；actions speak louder than words事实胜于雄辩；something is better than nothing有总比没有好。根据其后“So why not send your application forms to a few more companies?”可知，此处表示不要孤注一掷的含义。故选A。
