问题 To call Kermode the finest English critic of his generation is a________compliment, since not many of its population are professionally engaged in literary criticism.
A. sincere
B. backhanded
C. paltry
D. heartfelt
E. meager
F. plausible
选项
答案C,E
解析 逻辑连接词是since，表示前后同义重复。前面说把克莫德称为他那个时代最好的评论家是一个________的恭维(compliment)，后面说因为从事文学评论的人不多。既然文学评论家不多，那么夸一个人是最好的评论家就是一个无意义的恭维，所以空格应表达“无意义”的负评价含义，C项paltry(无意义的)和E项meager。(不丰富的)最符合，这里meager=deficient in quality or quantity，表达类似于“含金量不高”的含义，与paltry含义相近。
