What did the firefighters'representative tell the local TV?
新闻后面部分提到,消防队代表告诉当地电视台说,清除巧克力比清除积雪还要棘手。当地电视台还指出,巧克力清除工作的范围超过了一英里,因为事故发生后,司机们只是驾车压过巧克力,就在路上留下一条长长的巧克力印迹。因此,清除洒出的物质(即巧克力)是一项艰巨的任务,选项B正确。选项A是根据文中出现的long task设置的干扰项,新闻中虽然说清除巧克力的工作很棘手、漫长,但并没有直接说需要很久之后才能完成这项工作,选项A表述不符合新闻内容。选项C新闻并未提及,可排除。新闻中说,消防队与巧克力生产商取得了联系,请教如何清除凝固的巧克力,证明与生产商联系并不困难,选项D错误。
