问题 His unfortunate appearance was offset by an attractive personality. The underlined part means all of the following EXCEPT______. (2015-72)

选项 A、improved
B、made up for
C、balanced
D、compensated for

答案 A

解析 offset表示“补偿,抵消,弥补”。如:The extra cost of travelling to work is offset by the lower price of houses here.这里低廉的房价抵消了因上班路途远而产生的额外费用。offset的近义词/词组包括balance,make up for,compensate for,counterbalance,redress等。improve指“改善,提高”,显然不符题意。
