【B13】

选项 A、fellow
B、individual
C、personal
D、private

答案D

解析 考查形容词辨析。空格所在部分的含义是:民事案件裁决______公民之间的纷争。D.private可表示“与工作或官职无关的,普通的,平民的”,private citizens指“普通公民”,符合文意。故正确答案为D。做形容词时,fellow意为“同类的,同事的,同伴的”,如fellow citizens指“同胞”;individual意为“单独的,个别的”,后面只接单数可数名词或不可数名词,如eachindividual member/freedom(每个成员/个人自由);personal意为“个人的,私人的”,不与citizens搭配,三项均不符合题意。
