The American Revolution’s continental currency—the first attempt【B5】______national tender—did not have the same kind of【B6】______.

选项
A、Popular
B、Well-recieved
C、Short-lived
D、Notorious
答案
C
解析
语义逻辑题。这句话的关键是had no such luck“没有如此的好运”,“好运”指的就是前一句话中提到的:即使造一美分硬币需要1.6美分,这种硬币还是比其他面额的硬币生产得多。而下文由表并列关系的连词and引导分句.指出“10万美元的纸币虽然印刷过却从未发行过”,综合分析前后的逻辑关系,可以判断出这里说的500元面值等纸币应该是“短命的”,因此,C项符合题意。
