问题 Paradoxically, England’s colonization of North America was ______ by its success: the increasing prosperity of the colonies diminished their dependence upon, and hence their loyalty to, their home country.

选项 A、demonstrated
B、determined
C、altered
D、undermined
E、distinguished

答案 D

解析 方法一:
- 方程等号:冒号说明前后同义重复。
- 强词和对应:后文提到殖民地的日益繁荣减少了(diminished)它们对祖国(英国)的依赖以及忠诚。prosperity和success构成同义重复,因此空格和diminished构成同义重复,体现殖民统治被它的成功“减少”,负向。demonstrate证实,determine决定,alter改变,undermine削弱,distinguish区分。答案选D。
方法二:
- 方程等号:Paradoxically矛盾地,句意取反。
- 强词和对应:success指向空格,取反,体现成功的“负面作用”,正确答案为D。
