提示
考固定片語 in ___ of，且要呼應前文『既興奮又有點焦慮，因為從沒上過完全線上的課』的心情，此處描述『課程開始前』的心境。
正確答案
正解：C
詳解
A. 「in apprehension of」意為『對…感到憂慮、擔心』，但此處要表達的是『在課程開始前』的時間點，語意不如 anticipation 精確對應。
B. 「in collaboration of」不是正確的固定片語（正確為 in collaboration with），且語意『合作』與寄信提問的動作無關。
C. 「in anticipation of + 事件」意為『在…之前、預先』，正好對應『在課程開始之前』寫信提問的時間點。
D. 「in assumption of」不是英文固定片語，語意不通。
