问题     For more than two decades,【C1】______the cost of college has climbed at twice the rate of inflation, critics have【C2】______that bloated bureaucracies, overpaid faculty, and【C3】______amenities are【C4】______tuition.

选项 A、argued
B、complained
C、testified
D、agreed
答案 A
解析 语义衔接题。根据上下文，引导的宾语从句陈述的是批评家们的观点或言论，所填词应该含有“认为”的意思。complain是“抱怨，投诉”；testify是“坦白，供认”；agree是“同意”；只有argue有“认为”的意思，故选择A。
