Of wealth, power and prestige, power is the hardest to measure. Most studies are nothing more than an average of 【C2】______ about where power is found. Many forms of power are so 【C3】______ hidden that only its holders know the source. Because it’s so hard to 【C4】______ , and tied to ideology, the subject of power is a source of much 【C5】______ in sociology. Some maintain that power in America is concentrated in the 【C6】______ of a few people who have a common 【C7】______ and who tend to act together. Wright Mills 【C8】______ that America is 【C9】______ by a "power elite". Others believe that power in America is 【C10】______ among many groups and people.

选项
A、settle
B、determine
C、consider
D、mediate
答案
B
解析
动词语义题。句意为:社会学家研究权势不仅为了确定谁行施权力,而且也为了确定为何掌权及谁是受益者。选项A settle的意思是“决定,解决”,指最终决定结束(如争论);选项B determine意思是“决定,确定”,指在考虑、调查或计算之后决定性地确认,符合句意;选项C consider表示“考虑,相信”,语义不合适;选项D mediate意思是“调停,经调解解决”。
