parts of Orange County extend untidily in different directions.

参考答案和解析
正确答案: C
解析:
语义理解题。由题干定位到文章第一段,sprawl一词在该段出现了两次,第一次在“the Los Angeles sprawl”中作动名词,第二次在“sprawling Orange County”中作动词,根据meet一词可知,以上所涉及的两处为两个不同的地区,且是两个区域向外延伸的边缘地带; 此外,该段首句还提到,沿着大道,三进三出Cerritos;且sprawl一词原意为“随意地摊开四肢”,由以上几点可以推测出sprawl在此处意为“凌乱地展开”,故本题答案为B项。
