选项
A、rejected
B、objected
C、responded
D、opposed
答案
D
解析
词义结构搭配。be opposed to反对,例如:The people of Latin America were opposed to the war.在本题中opposed作过去分词修饰前面的指示代词those。可见,无论从词义或从结构上看,空格内填入opposed后可使上下文前后贯通。故应选opposed。reject拒绝,摒弃;该动词后不接介词to,故从结构上排除填 rejected。object to反对。可见,object后可接介词to,但objected是过去分词,不及物动词不能用过去分词形式作定语修饰名词。如把objected改为。objecting就对了。respond to对…做出反应。首先,respond是不及物动词,不能用过去分词形式作定语;其次,词义不妥,故不能入选。
