B. appreciated/appreciated
C. thanked/appreciated
D. appreciated/thanked
此題應選C.容易誤選A.
該題主要涉及表示感激的thank和appreciate的用法：
1. thank表示感謝，習慣上只接人作賓語，而不能接事作賓語：謝謝你的幫助。
正：Thank you for your help.
誤：Thank your help.謝謝你的好意。
正：Thank you for your kindness.
誤：Thank your kindness.
2. appreciate表示感謝，則習慣上只能接事作賓語，而不能接人作賓語（與thank的用法恰恰相反）：謝謝你的好意。
正：I appreciate your kindness.誤：I appreciate you for your kindness.順便補充一點appreciate值得注意的用法習慣：可接動名詞作賓語（但習慣上不接不定式）：能再次收到你的來信，我們將十分感激。
正：We shall appreciate hearing from you again.誤：We shall appreciate to hear from you again.
