The ideas of the pragmatists were considered【C3】______when they first appeared.

The【C8】______of these absolutes, critics feared, could result in a(n) 【C9】______in moral standards. The pragmatists’ denial of absolutes, 【C10】______, challenged the foundations of religion, government, and schools of thought. 【C11】______, pragmatism influenced developments in psychology, sociology, and many other schools and movements. 【C12】______political groups have also drawn【C13】______the assumptions of pragmatism, from the progressive movements of the early 20th century to later experiments in social reform.

【C19】
选项
A、consequence
B、reality
C、essence
D、contrast
答案
A
解析
consequence结果;reality现实;essence实质;contrast对比。由后文的“重新思考关于价值、宗教、科学、社会和个人的基本观念”可知,导致出现重新思考的原因是前面提到的传统的宗教信仰和价值观的逐渐衰落,两者之间构成因果关系,故选A。
