The U.S. dollar was supposed to be at the end of its rope. Kicking the bucket. A dying symbol of a dying empire. Well, maybe not. The dollar continues to【C1】______gloom-and-doom predictions.

The main reason behind the dollar’s recovery is actually no real surprise at all. There is no【C3】______able to replace the dollar as the world’s No.l currency.

Is any other major industrialized economy【C5】______better off than the U.S.? Not really. Just about the【C6】______developed world is suffering with the same problems. That’s why when investors get nervous, they still rush to the good old dollar. The dollar wins because no one else is really in the game.

M)revealed N)intriguing O)rally [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
D
解析
