考点：考查副词词义辨析

解析：这道题可能会让一部分同学郁闷一小下。形近词的辨析历来是备受考试青睐的一种考法。乍一眼看上去，这四个词都是以ly结尾，又都是6个字母组成，实在难以辨识。此时的考生，需要冷静下来。分析这里的每 个副词分别是由哪个形容词变化而来，而其形容词的含义实际上和其副词的含义相差无几。“most”(大部分)，所以“mostly”(大部分地，通常地); “near”(临近)“nearly”(几乎)= almost; rare(稀有的)“rarely”(很少地，几乎不);“mere”(仅仅，只 不过)“merely”(仅仅，只不过)。全句意思“我并没有责 怪任何人，我只是说类似这种错误是可以避免的”。
