选项
A、dominant
B、impressive
C、magnificent
D、significant
答案
D
解析
形容词辨析与上下文理解题。上文有large amounts of capital,下文有huge amounts of capital,此处应当选表示"大量"的词。dominant指"最重要的,最突出",如:an impressive speech令人难忘的演讲。magnificent意为"壮丽的,宏伟的",这三个词都不符合文意。significant有"重要的,重大的,可观的"之意,如:a significant rise in profits利润的巨大增长,是正确答案。
