答案D

解析 考查动词辨析。空格所在部分应填入过去分词作定语,修饰the judge,其搭配为______the judge to the case。assign表示“分配(某物),分派(工作、任务)等”时,其搭配是assign sth.to sb.;表示“指定,指派;委任,派遣”时,其搭配是assign sb.to sth.。放入文中表示“被指派负责案件的法官”,符合文意,故D.assigned为正确答案。allocate意为“分配…(给),划…(归)”,其搭配是allocate sth.to sb./sth.,一般接事物作直接宾语;allot意为“分配,配给(时间、钱财等);分配(任务)”,其搭配是allot sth.to sb./sth.,一般也接事物作直接宾语;appoint意为“任命,委任”,其搭配是appoint sb.to/as sth.,但其中sth.一般指的是职位,三项均不符合题意。
