问题 People who are reluctant to oppose a court nominee straightforwardly on ideological grounds often search for any sort of peccadillo to serve as a________their opposition.

选项 A、mitigation of
B、violation of
C、predictor of
D、reparation for
E、pretext for

答案E

解析 空格表示的是their opposition的什么东西,这道题目要结合整句话的理解来做。前面交代了有些人不愿意从意识形态角度去直接(straightforwardly)反对法院候选人,那么这些人就会去找一些各种各样的小过失(any sort of peccadillo),作为他们反对的________。不愿直接反对(reluctant to oppose a court nominee straightforwardly),就应该间接反对,所以这里填入体现“间接反对”概念的词语,因此选择E项pretext for。
