Of wealth, power and prestige, power is the hardest to measure. Most studies are nothing more than an average of 【C2】______ about where power is found. Many forms of power are so 【C3】______ hidden that only its holders know the source. Because it’s so hard to 【C4】______ , and tied to ideology, the subject of power is a source of much 【C5】______ in sociology.

选项
A、with
B、without
C、in
D、as
答案
B
解析
介词上下文理解题。根据句意“权力与财富并不总是如影随形,有钱不一定有权,反之亦然”,只有选项B without合乎题意。选项A with与下句话违背;选项C in与句意不符;选项D as表示“作为”,放在这里意思不对。
