问题 Marshall’s confrontational style could alienate almost anyone: he even antagonized a board of directors that included a number of his supporters and that had a reputation for not being easily ______.

选项 A、intimidated
B、mollified
C、reconciled
D、provoked
E、motivated

答案D

解析 - 方程等号:冒号说明前后句意同义重复。and平行结构,前后取同,not取反。
- 强词和对应:冒号前面的内容提到Marshall挑衅行事的风格疏远了任何人,所以冒号后面体现他会疏远他人,antagonize和alienate同义重复。and连接平行结构,supporter和the directors that had a reputation for not being easily+空格取同,因为not取反,所以空格和supporters反义重复,体现“不支持”。intimidate威胁,mollify抚慰,reconcile调节,provoke激怒,motivate使有动机。对比选项A和D,文中只说了激怒而没有说恐吓,排除A,所以答案选D。
