【C14】
选项 A、winning
B、championing
C、victorious
D、triumphant
答案A
解析 语义辨析题。空缺单词所在词组为The candiate______the primary election，根据上下文可以推断该词组是名词性词组，在本句中充当主语。根据前后文可知，该词组大意为赢得初选的候选人，因此空缺单词与后面的宾语(the primary election)构成修饰the candidate的定语，因此可以判断空缺单词应为动词，故排除[C][D]。[A]中的win意为“赢得”，用法如The government is winning the battle against inflation; [B]中的champion用作动词时意为“支持、拥护”，用法如He championed the rights of the working class and the poor，作为名词时意为“冠军”，其意思才接近win。因此，正确答案是[A]。
