steamshootingmorethan2,100metersintothesky.說的是靠近火山的地方出現(xiàn)了

個(gè)50年里，我們將會(huì)看見一個(gè)女總統(tǒng)，這或許比你想象的更快些4今天距離

Nixon總統(tǒng)給出的最終期限已經(jīng)不遠(yuǎn)了，美國人現(xiàn)在正關(guān)注這可能性"。相鄰語句

的句意相關(guān)，顯然，定冠詞結(jié)構(gòu)"thepossibility"指答案相關(guān)句中提到的"可能出現(xiàn)

美國女總統(tǒng)"。從該句中可以推斷出“從1969年到現(xiàn)在為止，美國還沒有出現(xiàn)女

總統(tǒng)"。因此問題句提供了正確信息。
