选项 A.publication
B.implication
C.provocation
D.qualification

答案 D

解析词汇辨析题。A.publication出版物;B.implication暗示;C.provocation挑衅;D.qualification资格,资历,条件,限制。原文说:It is the biggest3 to the standard view of happiness and income seen4.“这是迄今为止出现的最能证明人越有钱越幸福这个观点的证据。”本题比较容易排除A.C.两项。选项B.表示“暗示”,上文明确提到a survey shows…,其中show“显示,说明”与“暗示”矛盾,由此可见B.也非合适选项。利用排除法选择D.,文中the biggest qualification表示“最有资格说明,最能够证明”,切合上下文语义,故D.为正确答案。
