问题 Contrary to the antiquated idea that the eighteenth century was a ______ island of elegant assurance, evidence reveals that life for most people was filled with uncertainty and insecurity.

选项 A、clannish
B、declining
C、tranquil
D、recognized
E、sprawling

答案 C

解析 - 方程等号:contrary to与…相反,前后句意反义重复。
- 强词和对应:根据逗号后面的内容,证据揭示了对于大多数人来说,生活充满了不确定(uncertainty)和不安全感(insecurity)。uncertainty或insecurity指向空格,根据contrary to取反,体现“确定的”或者“有安全感的”,空格填入一个正向词。clannish排外的,declining衰退的,tranquil平静的,recognized公认的,sprawling蔓延的。tranquil的释义是free from disturbance or turmoil。答案选C。
