选项
A、keeps
B、draws
C、inclines
D、tends
答案
B
解析
词义搭配。draw to接近,符合句意,故可入选。Keep to坚持:keep to one’s post坚持岗位;incline to 倾向于:incline to leanness (有消瘦的倾向)The dog inclines to meat as food. (狗好吃肉食)。tend to 倾向于:The world tends to socialism. (全世界倾向于社会主义)。可见,keep to,incline to,tend to与draw to虽搭配相同,但词义相差甚远,故均不能入选。
