这道题该选latter还是late?
我在考研模拟题中遇到这样一道题:Nurseries were established in various areas during the ___ half of the 19th century.
latter B:late C:other D:first
我选择B,如果我没记错的话latter是表示事物的"后者",而late(later)才表示是时间上的较后的,谁能告诉我是我错了,还是答案错了.

Answer 1

请把题目交代清楚,我们才能帮您
答案是latter
因为latter 可作形容词“ 后面的;后半的;末了的” 所以“19世纪的后半世纪”是the _latter__ half of the 19th century.
late一般不作定语
