The gods seemed hopelessly violent and【C5】______, and one’ s life a period of slavery at their easy will.

【C20】
选项 A、consist
B、compose
C、compile
D、consume
答案B
解析 考查动词辨析。空格处填入一动词，其逻辑主语是who代替的先行词free peasants，宾语是the majority of the population。从含义上首先排除compile和consume。compile意为“编写(书、列表、报告等)”；consume意为“消耗，消费”。consist和compose都有“组成”的含义，但consist是不及物动词，要与介词搭配，consist of意为“由…组成”；compose是及物动词，意为“组成，构成(一个整体)”。因此本题应选B．compose。
