问题
A corrupt public official was______by colleagues afraid of inquires into their own affairs.
选项
A、palliated
B、glossed over
C、whitewashed
D、extenuated
答案
D
解析
句意:贪官们官官相护来掩盖自己的罪行。这几个词都有“使错误或罪过看起来不那么严重和应受谴责”的意思。extenuate指“用偏袒的辩解或借口企图减轻罪行、过错等的严重性,声称其是轻微的;为……找借口”,在此有“袒护,偏袒”的含义,因此D选项符合句意。palliate意为“减轻(病痛等);掩饰(罪过、错误等)”。gloss o一ver无视;掩盖。whitewash粉饰;美化。
