Tarawa is one of the two largest of the Gilbert Islands in the western Pacific Ocean,but it is a very tiny island,with an area of about eight square miles,and a population of about 17,000. Small as it is,three nations fought to control and use it as an air base during World War II. The Japanese took it from the British in 1941,only to lose it to the Americans tow years later after one of the bloodiest (血腥的) battles of the war. Today,the Gilbert Islands having become part of the Kiribati Pepublic,Tarawa is now its capital and major seaport (海港).
Tarawa lies nearer to ______.  A. Japan than to the U.S.  B. the U.S. than to Japan.  C. Britain than to the U.S.  D. Britain than to Japan.为什么选A ,题里能看出来吗
能看出来,文章第一句“in the western Pacific Ocean”指出岛屿位于西太平洋,日本紧靠西太平洋,美国挨着东太平洋,英国位于大西洋.所以这个岛屿离日本比离美国更近.
