那一天，许多孩子在靠近水边的地方玩耍，他们那样大胆，不知道危险就在眼前，使我们非常吃惊。（ ）
A、Many children were playing closely to the water that day, and we were stunned by their ignorance and daring.
B、Many children were playing close to the water that day, we were stunned by their ignorance and daring.
C、Many children were playing close to the water that day, their ignorance and daring stunned us.
D、Many children were playing close to the water that day, and we were stunned by their ignorance and daring.
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：本题主要考查两个词形相近的词close和closely含义的差别。close做副词，含义是“位置接近地，无空隙地”，而副词closely一般是指抽象含义，表示仔细地，紧密地，亲近地。原文的意思是说孩子们在靠近水边的地方玩耍，因此正确答案是D。
