问题 Tompkinson’s prior donations to the university, while very generous, failed to________the magnitude of her latest gift.
A. compensate for
B. portend
C. clarify
D. predict
E. offset
F. undermine

选项

答案B,D

解析 逻辑连接词是while,表示让步转折。让步的部分说汤普金森之前给大学的捐赠(prior donations)非常慷慨,转折的部分说然而没有________最近这次礼物(latest gift)的分量。他之前的慷慨捐赠比不上这次,因此空格表达“没有预料到”的含义,填正向词,选项符合预期的是B项portend和D项predict(预测)。
