问题 While the delegate clearly sought to ____ the optimism that has emerged recently, she stopped short of suggesting that the conference was near collapse and might produce nothing of significance.

选项 A、substantiate
B、dampen
C、encourage
D、elucidate
E、rekindle

答案 B

解析 - 方程等号:While尽管,反义重复。stopped short of,相当于not,取反。两次取反后取同。
- 强词和对应:主句部分的内容是not collapse,即乐观,和optimism同义重复。因为While出现要取反,主句说乐观,While部分说“不乐观”,因此空格填入一个负向词。substantiate证明,dampen抑制、泼冷水,encourage鼓励,elucidate解释,rekindle重新点燃。答案选B。
