问题 Merchant Robert Morris was a man of many distinctions, one of the wealthiest individuals in the Colonies and an economic wizard, he won the______ "Financier of the Revolution", yet died penniless and forgotten.

选项 A、condolence
B、euphemism
C、dregs
D、accolade

答案D

解析 D选项:accolade意为“嘉奖,赞许”,如:The Nobel prize has become theultimate accolade in the sciences.(诺贝尔奖已成为科学界的最高荣誉。)根据句意:商人罗伯特·莫里斯获得很多荣誉,他是殖民地中最富有的人之一,也是一位经济奇才。他赢得了“变革金融家”荣誉称号,但死时却身无分文,并被遗忘。故选D。其他三项:condolence同情,吊唁;euphemism委婉语;dregs沉淀物,残渣。
