选项 A、apparent
B、distinct
C、distinguished
D、evident
答案B
解析 形容词辨析题。本题需要考生在通读全文后才能做出正确的解答。联系上下文可知，本文讲述了获得自由的美国黑人在北部与南部的不同遭遇。[A]、[B]以及[D]都有“明显的”之意，但意思略有区别，[B]distinct“明显的，不同的”，强调区别性特征，或一物与另一物的差异性，符合题意，故为正确答案。[A]apparent“显然的，外观上的”．强调表面上能看出的；[D]evident“明显的”，强调根据一定的迹象能看出的；[C]distinguished表示“著名的”，以上三项均与原文意思不符，故排除。
