2.(C)， in+世紀、年份、季節、月份。

3.(D)，various表示「各種各樣的」，主要指彼此不同且種類繁多，強調“異”而“多”其後接的名詞通常用複數名詞。machinery指「機器總稱」，為不可數名詞。

4.(A)，空格處應填入形容詞。executive形容詞表示「決策的，管理的」；execute 動詞表示 「（依法）處決，處死」; execution不可數名詞表示「（尤指有計劃的）實行，履行」; executioner可數名詞表示「劊子手；行刑 者」。

5.(D)，expletive 可數名詞表示「咒罵語；粗話」；insist表示「堅持」；本題考【意志動詞+ that主詞 + (should) + be +過去分詞】的 句型：that 子句裡的 should 被省略。
