※ 引述《cgcluck (Never give up!)》之銘言：
: 今天做閱讀測驗遇到一個語意問題
: Reading passage:
: In 1472, the first ad in English appeared: a handbill tacked on church doors
: in London announcing a prayer book for sale. Two hundred years later the first
: newspaper ad was published, ...
: Question:
: When did advertising in newspaper begin?
: A. Two hundred years after the first newspaper began
: B.1704
: C.1672
: D.1758
: I choose the answer (C). But the correct answer is (A).
: Can anyone explain it?
: Thank you for your help.

認真糾誤一下，答案是B

找1704那格

http://www.ehow.com/about_5366305_history-newspaper-ads.html
The first paid newspaper advertisement was an announcement...on May 8, 1704

至於報紙
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_by_establishment_date
1605年在德意志地區出版的報紙一般認為是「現代」報紙的開端

回到您的問題
這題目這樣問會讓人誤解時間，在沒有資料的情形下，我想應該都會選1672
但只要去查一下資料，就會發現答案是1704
並且他說「首份報紙」出現後兩百年
具有「現代意義」的首份報紙出版在1605
跟1704也只差百年

加個新資料

一份McGraw-Hill的資料
第11頁有寫1650 First newspaper ad reward...

所以，我認為這題目有待商榷

推 cgcluck:真感謝你，好詳細
推 Eklips:我倒是覺得e大跟原原PO都誤會了  其實可以不用這麼複雜的去
→ Eklips:分析這個題目  因為問題中並未提及首份報紙的發行年份
→ Eklips:但廣告既然能公佈於報紙上那代表它是出現於報紙發行之後
→ Eklips:所以我覺得它那一句說的是在報紙發行兩百年之後  而非廣告
→ Eklips:誕生後的兩百年  當然答案選項並沒出好是真的
