The charge is arguably (3)_____: the firm’s health coverage, while (4)_____ less extensive than the average for big companies, is on equal terms (5)_____ other retailers’.

选项
A、organize
B、regulate
C、verify
D、control
答案
D
解析
整句话的理解。control"控制,操纵,管理,支配(某人或某物)",填入空格后,句子的意思是:无益于控制整体医疗费用,这就是批评人士的观点,符合题意。regulate具有迷惑性,其意思是direct (sth.) by means of rules and restrictions, adjust"依照制度、规则或法律控制或指导";但此处文意是用这个方案来控制整体医疗费用,而不是管理,没有control意思贴切,故不入选。organize"组织"和verify"检验,查证"均不符合题意。
