Explanation:

"Maritime" is an adjective that means "connected with the sea, especially in relation to seafaring commercial or military activity," "living or found in or near the sea," "bordering on the sea," or "denoting a climate that is moist and temperate owing to the influence of the sea." While "wet" might look like the correct answer because both "wet" and "maritime" can be associated with water, "wet" does not mean the same thing as "maritime" and cannot be the correct answer. "Nautical," however, means "of or concerning sailors or navigation; maritime," and because it is the answer choice closest in meaning to "maritime," "nautical" is the correct answer.

PRIOR

Possible Answers:

Following

Correct answer:

Preceding

Explanation:

The adjective "prior" indicates that something comes before another thing. For instance, if you already have some knowledge of frog anatomy when your class begins to cover this subject, your biology teacher could say that you have "prior knowledge." The word "prior" is opposed to the word "posterior," which meanscoming after.“之前承诺”是一种承诺或会议that you have scheduled at an earlier point in time. While things like "prior knowledge" might be simple in comparison with later developments of that knowledge, the best option among the answers is the one that draws attention to the general notion of being "before." Hence, "preceding" is the best option, for "preceding" meanscoming before
