选项 A、turned
B、worked
C、brought
D、made

答案B

解析 本题考查动词短语辨析。空格所在部分是定语从句中的谓语,由于它是被动式,因此其逻辑宾语就是该从句的主语the relationship。turn out(制造,生产;关掉,熄灭);work out(计算,算出,处理,解决,计划,思考);bring out(使显现,使表现出,生产,出版)make out(辨认;理解,明白),根据句意:在柏拉图的《理想国》中不涉及具体个人或国家的一种个人与国家之间的关系被详细地设计出来,但罗马理论家们几乎无一例外地忽视或拒绝接受像《理想国》这样的智力训练,认为它们毫无价值。work out the relationship表示"想出或制定出(个人与国家之间的)关系"。
