风的季节一样调的歌:trail和trace的区别？

英语沙龙您好，我想请问您几道单选题
1.The gang has escaped without any__.
A.traits B.traces C.tracks D.trails
我查过字典，四个都有踪迹的意思，应该怎样区别呢？答案(B)
2. Thomas edison considered genius to be__one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
A.constituded in B.composed of C consisted of D.comprised in
我觉得B和c都可以
●
您好！
Trait指特点、特征、特性。Trace指 mark, track, sign, etc. showing what has existed or happened，即"曾经存在或发生的事所留下的痕迹、踪迹"，也就是我们所讲的抽象意义上的踪迹、痕迹。 Track和trail两个词均表示人用肉眼看得见的踪迹、痕迹，其中track尤指车辆、行人、运行经过后留下的足迹、痕迹。）
下面再给你举一个例子：
Sorrow and disappointment left their ____ upon his character.
A. tracks B. traits C. traces D. trails
答案：C
第二题应该选B。虽compose和consist都有"组成、构成"之意，可两者在句法的构成上却是不同。前者一般用作"be composed of"，而后者则是"consist of"(主动形式)。
如：Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen.
The house consists of six rooms.
