Charle Pollen, a Jahn student, who opposed to loose exercise, stressed (48)______ mental and physical exercise.

Others advocated vegetarianism(素食主义), or saw lack of sunshine as a cause of stomach discomfort.

答案
B
解析
通过上题的分析可知,本段强调的是健身运动的复兴,所以此处应填具有积极意义的形容词修饰bodies。Muscular Christianity中的Muscular意为“肌肉的,强健的”,所填词应与其形成近义共现。sound作形容词时可意为“健全的,健康的”,因此B. sound为答案。F. marvelous“非凡的,最佳的”不能修饰bodies表示健康状况,因此排除F。
