We can’t come to the (8)_____ right now. If you want us to call you back, please leave your name and number after the beep." Then you will hear a "beep", (9)_____ is a brief, high-pitched (10)_____.

选项 A、take
B、make
C、answer
D、receive
答案B
解析 固定搭配题。根据常识可知，录音电话具有留言功能，当给一个人打电话而对方不在家时，如果有留言电话，就可以给对方留言，这样对方就能及时获得信息。句中提到了telephone calls(电话)，而后面又提及need to be ready to respond(需要做好反应的准备)。显然，这里是指对方不在家时，做好准备如何在录音电话中留言。打电话的固定搭配是to make a call或者make calls to somebody，因此正确选项是make。take a call 或 take calls意为"接听电话"，answer telephone calls也指"接听电话"，receive telephone calls意为"接到电话"，虽然take，answer和receive这三个动词均可与telephone calls搭配使用，但用在此处则使句子语义不通。这里说的是在给别人打电话时，如何在录音电话中给对方留言。
