问题 The fire has caused great losses, but the factory tried to ______ the con sequences by saying that the damage was not as serious as reported.
选项 A、decrease
B、subtract
C、minimize
D、degrade
答案 C
解析 此题考查动词词义。这场大火造成了巨大损失，但厂方却说，损失没有报道得那么严重，竭力低估大火造成的后果。minimize意为“缩小，减少”；decrease意为“减少，(有“逐渐减少”的意思，可指数量、质量、尺寸、强度或重要性等方面的减少或减小)”；subtract意为“减去”；degrade意为“(地位身份等)下降，堕落”。
