选项
A、pacify
B、tempt
C、suppress
D、manipulate
答案
A
解析
本题考查动词词义辨析。空格所在部分是whom引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the priestly class。将先行词放入从句中,句子的完整形式是:He had the priestly class both to use and to ____,其中both...and连接两个并列的不定式作后置定语。可见,空格处填入的动词的逻辑宾语是"僧侣阶层"。pacify(使…平静,抚慰);tempt(诱惑,鼓动);suppress(镇压,压制);manipulate操纵,(暗中)控制。从上文可知,国王和僧侣都是神的代言人,但国王居于僧侣之上,因此他们之间的关系不应是"诱惑"或"镇压"。如果选择manipulate,与use在含义上出现重复,也应排除。
