问题 His power was seriously______by a succession of crises, and when he died, a bitter power struggle ensured.

选项 A、eroded
B、downplayed
C、rotten
D、dwarfed

答案A

解析 本题考查动词辨析。空后的by a succession of crises(通过一连串的危机)提示,他的权力应是被严重削弱。erode意为“损害、削弱(权力、权威、信心)”,符合语义,故为答案。down-play意为“对……轻描淡写;贬低”。rot意为“(使)腐烂,(使)腐朽”。dwarf意为“(由于对比)使显得矮小,使相形见绌”。
