With the 2012 campaign for the U. S. presidency heating up, Obama is speaking【C4】______often about education, a key issue for his political base.

Bush that seeks to hold schools【C6】______for students’ performance.

选项
答案
E
解析
分析该句的句子结构可以推断出空格处应为副词。空格后的分句大意为“教育是奥巴马总统政治根基的关键性问题”,因此随着竞选活动日趋白热化,他理应越来越频繁地提到教育问题。备选项中只有increasingly有“越来越多地,渐增地”之意,故答案选E。
