【C15】
选项 A、authorized
B、credited
C、entitled
D、qualified
答案C
解析 考查动词辨析。此处配是be+过去分词+to sth．，其中to是介词。根据下文可知此处表达的意思为“《欧洲人权公约》规定人人享有隐私权”，be entitied to sth．意为“有权…，有资格…”，因此选C．entitled。be authorized to do sth．意为“被授权…”，to是不定式符号：be creditedto sth．意为“把…归于某人或某物，认为属于…”，与题意不符；be qualified to do sth．意为“有资格，能胜任”，to是不定式符号，后接动词原形。
