(3)_____ you’re going to find fewer books presenting themselves as no-nonsense and (4)_____ assuming literary pretensions and being packaged as works of art. We can expect an extraordinary variety of genre, but with an underlying (5)_____ of sentiment and vision.
    Translators can only (6)_____ from this desire for the presumably sophisticated.

选项 A、lead to
B、point to
C、come to
D、turn to
答案A
解析 词组辨析。lead to意为"导致"；point to意为"指向"；come to意为"苏醒过来"；turn to意为"转向"，如turn to somebody for help(求助于某人)。此处选择lead to表达因果关系。该句意为：全世界每一个族群此时此刻都得有一位大作家，这一现象将导致一种新的乡土主义。
