    Seedrs, a British crowd-funding firm, was 【C5】______ in 2012, and has backed 500 firms 【C6】______, raising a total of £210m ($271m) from more than 200,000 users. 【C7】______ there are two big problems with crowd-funding.

    Seedrs is trying to solve the illiquidity problem 【C9】______ setting up a secondary market, where buyers and sellers can 【C10】______ shares. The new market will start 【C11】______ this summer, and will allow trading for a week every month, starting on the first Tuesday. The price 【C12】______ which investors can deal will be set by Seedrs itself, 【C13】______ a valuation mechanism 【C14】______ industry guidelines.

【C14】

选项 A、in harmony with
B、in line with
C、in conformity with
D、in tune with

答案B

解析 近义词组辨析题。选项中四个词组都有“与……一致”的意思,但是用法不同,其中A项in harmony with侧重于表示“和谐、协调、融洽”,B项in line with普通用语,表示“与……一致、相符”,C项in conformity with正式用语,多表示“与规定、法律一致”,D项in tune with“与……合拍,协调”,根据语境可知此处为“与产业的指导方针一致、相符”,因此本题应选择B项in line with。
