问题 The mayor and school superintendent let their dispute over budget cuts escalate to ugly and destructive proportions.
选项 A、stagnate
B、condense
C、converge
D、develop
答案 D
解析 A选项stagnate意为“停滞，不发展”；B选项condense意为“使冷凝，精简，压缩”；C选项converge意为“聚集，汇聚”；D选项develop意为“发展，成长，生长”。由题干中的ugly and destructive可推知，这场辩论应该是升级了，escalate意为“使升级，使扩大，使恶化”，故D选项正确。本句大意为：市长和学校督学互不相让，他们因削减预算引发的争执升级为丑陋的破坏性攻讦。
