选项 A、leads
B、forbids
C、allows
D、intends
答案C
解析 动词辨析题。[C]allows“允许，许可”，此处的句型是allow sb．to do sth．．，即：允许某人做某事，听任某人做某事，故为正确答案。[A]leads“引导，通往”，lead sb．to do sth．，意为“使人兴起念头，诱导某人做某事”，在此处讲不通，故排除；[B]forbids“禁止”，forbid sb．to do sth．意为“禁止某人做某事”，不符合句意，故排除；[D]intends“想，打算”，intend to do sth．为“打算做某事”之意，不符合句子结构，也可以排除。
