• B

  As a result of
• C

  In the event of
• D

  Regardless of

Answer 1

【分析】instead of 代替，而不是；as a result of 作为……的结果；in the event of 万一……的话，如果是……的话；regardless of 不管，不顾。王太太给那个无家可归的流浪汉提供了食物和水，而不是把他当做社会的耻辱。根据句意应选A。

【点评】Instead of “代替……”、“而不”
\n1.作为短语介词，instead of 后面常跟名词、代词和动名词，偶尔也跟复合结构。
\n例：I have come instead of my brother. He is ill.
\n2.Instead of 后面还可跟形容词、副词、动词、不定式、介词短语和从句。
\n例：Taking exercise every day makes him look younger instead of older.
\n每天锻炼身体使他显得更年轻而不是苍老。
