问题
In his youth the naturalist and artist James Audubon was given to________glamorous tales about himself: he falsely claimed to have studied under a renowned French painter and hinted that he was the heir apparent to the French throne.
选项
A、disavowing
B、understating
C、constraining
D、obfuscating
E、concocting
答案
E
解析
同义解释类题目,冒号表示对于前面内容的解释。短语be given to意为“沉溺于……,倾向于……”,所以空格表示的是詹姆斯.奥杜邦在年轻的时候对关于自己的迷人的故事的一个动作。冒号后面在说,他谎称自己在一位有名的法国画家门下做过研究,并且又是法国王位继承人,这明显是在吹牛,那么空格就应该体现出这个人“吹牛,捏造”的特点,与falsely claim对应,所以选择E项concocting(编造)。
