问题 The mayor and school superintendent let their dispute over budget cuts escalate to ugly and destructive proportions.

选项 A、stagnate
B、condense
C、converge
D、develop

答案D

解析 A选项stagnate意为“停滞,不发展”;B选项condense意为“使冷凝,精简,压缩”;C选项converge意为“聚集,汇聚”;D选项develop意为“发展,成长,生长”。由题干中的ugly and destructive可推知,这场辩论应该是升级了,escalate意为“使升级,使扩大,使恶化”,故D选项正确。本句大意为:市长和学校督学互不相让,他们因削减预算引发的争执升级为丑陋的破坏性攻讦。
