问题 The President reached a decision only after lengthy (i)______, painstakingly weighing the (ii)______ opinions expressed by cabinet members.

选项 A、deliberation…divergent
B、confrontation…unanimous
C、relegation…consistent
D、speculation…conciliatory
E、canvassing…arbitrary

答案 A

解析 空格(i):
- 方程等号:逗号说明前后句意同义重复。
- 强词和对应:根据题意,总统在煞费苦心地做着权衡,因此空格(i)和painstakingly weighing取同,体现“权衡的特点”。weigh(权衡)的释义是to think carefully about(something)in order to form an opinion or make a decision。deliberation深思熟虑,confrontation冲突,relegation降级,speculation猜测,canvassing游说。deliberation的释义是long and careful thought or discussion done in order to make a decision。与painstakingly weigh构成同义重复,体现“慎重考虑”。选项A合适。
空格(ii):
- 方程等号:after构成时间对比。
- 强词和对应:根据题意,之后总统做出决定。空格(ii)和reached a decision根据时间对比,取反,体现之前的意见是“未决定的”。divergent不同的(对),unanimous一致同意的(错),consistent一致的(错),conciliatory安抚的(错),arbitrary随意的(对)。只有大家有不同意见,才会有权衡的可能性,所以排除B、C、D选项,综合空格(i),答案选A。
