The【C8】______of these absolutes, critics feared, could result in a(n) 【C9】______in moral standards. The pragmatists’ denial of absolutes, 【C10】______, challenged the foundations of religion, government, and schools of thought. 【C11】______, pragmatism influenced developments in psychology, sociology, and many other schools and movements. 【C12】______political groups have also drawn【C13】______the assumptions of pragmatism, from the progressive movements of the early 20th century to later experiments in social reform.
Pragmatism is best【C14】______in its historical and cultural context.

选项
A、universal
B、prevalent
C、traditional
D、representative
答案
C
解析
universal普遍的;prevalent流行的,普遍的;traditional传统的;representative代表的。此处表达的意思是,随着工业化和物质进步,宗教信仰和价值观逐渐衰落,工业化是新兴事物,物质进步是向前发展的,由此可推断,此处表达的是一个与这两者相对应的含义,即传统的宗教信仰和价值观,故选C。
