a million IBM stockholders last week took a nightmare ride on a
stock they had long trusted. IBM had been sliding all year recent【S1】______
hitting 10-year lows, but after the company announced last Tuesday
that it would, among other things, slash another 25,000 jobs, the

选项
答案
rise—dive
解析
语义错误。该处意思是“在IBM宣布裁员25 000人后,股票出现了历史性的大跌”。因为裁员预示着经营不善,因此股价会下跌,而不是上升。take a dive是固定搭配,表示“急剧下降”。
