Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer: CDBA
Explanation
• Part C introduces the time frame ("For the first twenty minutes or..."), which naturally combines with the phrase "so of motoring..." in D to form the common expression "twenty minutes or so".
• Part D ends with the modal auxiliary "cannot", which requires the base form of the verb "say" found in part B ("cannot say I was seized...").
• Part B ends with the noun "excitement", which coordinates smoothly with "or anticipation at all" in part A.
Complete Sentence: For the first twenty minutes or so of motoring, I cannot say I was seized by any excitement or anticipation at all.
