选项 A、undermine…enthusiasm
B、isolate…selectiveness
C、display…affability

答案D

解析 空格(ii):
- 方程等号:his表示指示代词,指示对象特征前后同义重复。
- 强词和对应:后文说他挥霍的能力让围观者震惊,因此空格(ii)和extravagance根据his取同,体现“挥霍”的特点。enthusiasm热情,selectiveness选择性,affability亲切,dissipation浪费,genius天赋。选项D合适。
空格(i):
- 方程等号:nonetheless表示转折,反义重复。
- 强词和对应:后文说他“挥霍”的行为提高了他的声誉,unworthy和enhanced reputation根据nonetheless取反。空格(i)描述他的行为,与extravagance取同,体现他的行为有“挥霍的”特征。undermine削弱,isolate使孤立,display展现,squander挥霍,implicate牵涉。综合空格(ii),答案选D。
