trail to retrieve his tax information. But politically, the timing is awkward, 7. ______

He has been trying to beat back rumors he is aiming for the vice-presidential slot 9. ______
or that he will quit the race and urge his conservative supporters to back Newt
Gingrich in effort to stop the more moderate Mitt Romney. 10.______ [br]
选项
答案 considerate——considerable
解析 本题为形容词误用。两个词形似义异。considerate表示“体贴周到的”，considerable表示“大量的”。句中指总统候选人必须投入大量时间和精力参选，故用后者。
