Figures from the Office for National Statistics( ONS)showed【C2】______ spending fell by 1. 2% in the first three months of the year. People spent less on housing, household goods and services,【C3】______ those who went on holiday abroad also spent【C4】______ less.

选项
A、remain
B、maintain
C、retain
D、sustain
答案
A
解析
动词辨义。空格前面提到,由于家庭支出和投资等关键部分注定会随着房地产市场、劳动力市场和银行借贷的疲软而进一步大幅下降,而且前文也都提到经济状况不佳,所以我们对近期的“经济复苏迹象”将在明年转好的趋势仍持怀疑态度。由于空格后为形容词unconvinced,空格处应填入系动词,remain unconvinced“仍保持怀疑的”,符合句意,故答案为remain。
