问题 In arguing against assertions that environmental catastrophe is imminent, her book does not ridicule all predictions of doom but rather claims that the risks of harm have in many cases been _________.

选项 A、exaggerated
B、ignored
C、scrutinized
D、derided
E、increased

答案A

解析 - 方程等号:逗号,前后取同。
- 强词和对应:根据句意,前文描述她的书反对了“环境灾难迫在眉睫”这种言论,即环境灾难的危险是不对的,而catastrophe和harm构成同义重复,所以空格填一个负向词,对应argue against。exaggerated被夸大的,ignored被忽视的,scrutinized被仔细检查的,derided被嘲笑的,increased被增加的。选项A和D是负向词。D选项是一个干扰项,在逗号后面出现了一个not A but B的结构,A和B应该是取反的,但是D选项中的deride和前面的ridicule取同,如果代入句意变成了“她的书没有嘲笑对于世界末日的预测,相反认为环境灾难的风险被嘲笑了”,句意矛盾,排除D。正确答案是A。
