问题 It was not only the (i)____ of geologists that (ii)____ earlier development of the revolutionary idea that the Earth’s continents were moving plates; classical physicists, who could not then explain the mechanism, had declared continental movement impossible.
选项 A、indecisiveness…challenged
B、radicalism…deterred
C、conservatism…hindered
D、assumptions…hastened
E、resistance…mandated
答案 C
解析 空格(ii)：
- 方程等号：分号，同义重复。
- 强词和对应：后文说经典物理学家声称大陆移动是不可能的，idea that the Earth’s continents were moving plates和continental movement同义重复，指大陆漂移。impossible指向空格(ii)，根据分号取同，体现地质学家认为大陆漂移是“不可能的”，填入一个负向词。challenge质疑，deter阻止，hinder阻碍，hasten加速，mandate命令。A、B、C三项合适。
空格(i)：
- 方程等号：of介词结构修饰空格(i)，同义重复。
- 强词和对应：根据空格(ii)得知地质学家认为大陆移动这种革命性学说的发展是“不可能的”(impossible)，因此这些人是“反对”革命性的发展的。空格(i)根据of取同，应该体现对革命性(revolutionary)的反对。indecisiveness犹豫不决(错)，radicalism激进主义(错)，conservatism保守主义(对)，assumption假设(错)，resistance抵抗(对)。综合空格(ii)，答案选C。
