选项 A、develop
B、improve
C、better
D、promote

答案B

解析 动词辨析题。[B]improve侧重“提高价值而得到改进”,improve one’s position“提高某人的社会地位”,因此该项符合文意。[A]develop“发展,展开”,例如:develop light industry,该项意思与原文不符;[C]better用作动词时,表示“质方面的改进”,例如:better myself by changing jobs,故此项也与原文不符;[D]promote“促进”,例如:promote a constitutional amendment(倡议宪法修正案);作“提升,提拔”解时,宾语应为人,因此该项也与原文不符。
