选项
A、against
B、off
C、of
D、out of
答案
C
解析
结构搭配。relieve sb.of suffering解除或减轻某人的痛苦。此处介词of表示"分离"。也可以说:relieve one’s suffering,如;The drug will relieve your suffering.(这种药可减轻你的痛苦)。此外,relieve sb.of sth.也可用于指解除某人的工作等,例如:The company has relieved Mr.Smith of his post as manager.(公司已经解除史密斯先生的经理职务)。可见本题应选of。注意:动词与介词的惯用搭配是考研完形填空的重要测试内容。
