答案詳解
(A) finally
正解！Finally 常常用在「前面歷經了很長或很困難的過程，最後終於...」，也可以等於 at last。例如： （相關報導： 被搭訕回I'm not convenient表達「我不太方便」，對方聽了卻滿頭問號！1分鐘搞懂錯在哪 ｜ 更多文章 ）
After a long, delayed flight, we finally got home at midnight.（在班機延誤很久之後，我們終於在半夜到家。）
= After a long, delayed flight, we got home at midnight at last.
另外，finally 也可以放在句子開頭，後面接「最後一件要說的事」，也可以等於 lastly。例如：
Finally, I would like to thank you guys for coming to our wedding today.（最後，我想要感謝你們今天來我們的婚禮。）
= Lastly, I would like to thank you guys for coming to our wedding today.
