What forces could have been【3】powerful to smash a comfortable and【4】world and institute in its place this new society? There was no single massive【5】It was not great events, single adventures, individual laws, or charming【6】which【7】about the economic revolution. It was a process of internal growth.
First, there was the gradual emergence of national political【8】in Europe. A second great current of change was to be found in the slow decay of the religious spirit under the【9】of the skeptical, inquiring, humanist views of the Italian Renaissance. Still another【10】current lies in the slow social changes that eventually【11】the market system possible.

选项
A、radical
B、optional
C、radiant
D、pathetic
答案
A
解析
“radical根本的,基本的;彻底的”符合题意。根据文章一致性的原则,该词与下文的“basic”形成一种照应。最大的干扰项为选项C“radiant明亮照耀的,光辉灿烂的”,因为词形相近,所以构成了干扰;而选项B“optional任选的,可选择的”和选项D“pathetic可怜的,可悲的”均不符合题意。
