The forms of the verbs are even more 【B11】______ The Eskimo language is, therefore, one of the most difficult in the world to learn, 【B12】______ the result that almost no traders or explorers have 【B13】______ tried to learn it. Consequently, there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon 【B14】______ to the pidgin English used in Old China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected words.

选项
A、endless
B、multiple
C、uncountable
D、numerous
答案
B
解析
词汇辨析能力。multiple表示“多个的”、“由多个部分、品种等组成的”、“多种多样的”。uncountable表示“不可计数的”。numerous表示“为数众多的”(用来修饰单数名词)、“许多的”(修饰可数名词)。从此句的内容看,B最合适。
