Some canals are lined with brick, stone, or concrete to keep the water【C11】______ soaking into the mud.

选项
A、raised
B、promoted
C、hoisted
D、alleviated
答案
A
解析
由表示选择的连词or可知所填词与lowered意义相对,lower的反义词是raise,故选A,表示船随着水位的变化而上升或下降。Bpromoted“提升”,常指提升position或rank;Choisted“举起,升高”,一般指借助机械手段提起,不符合此处语境;Dalleviated“缓和,减轻”,不符合句意。
