选项
A、notorious
B、indecent
C、obscure
D、desperate
答案
B
解析
此题属于语意搭配题。indecent表示“不成体统的,不体面的”,根据上下文,上句说死亡是忌讳的话题,因此,谈论死亡会被看作是不成体统的,故选项B indecent正确。选项A notorious表示“臭名昭著的,声名狼藉的”,例如:The company is notorious for paying its bill late.选项C obscure表示“晦涩的;偏僻的,模糊的”,例如;an obscure style of writing/an obscure island.又如:Official
