问题 The apparent rigidity of military discipline often (i) ______ the surprising level of independent thinking expected of the modern officer. Combat situations often (ii) ______ spur-of-the-moment decisions.

选项

答案The apparently rigid discipline mentioned in the beginning of the sentence provides a false impression: In fact, the modern officer needs the ability to think independently. Belies indicates that the apparent rigidity is false. The second through fourth choices all imply that discipline is antithetical to independent thinking, while the last choice, mitigates, suggests that discipline is a refreshing alternative from independent thought, which does not fit in the context of the sentence. The best word for the second blank will support the statements made in the previous sentence; "independent thinking" suggests that soldiers will engage in making "spur-of-the- moment decisions." Mandate means "to order or require," which is the best choice from among the words listed.
