The federal government 【C7】______ poverty line as a minimum 【C8】______ of income 【C9】______ for basic maintenance of a family or four.

选项
A、understate
B、overstate
C、boast
D、exaggerate
答案
B
解析
考查动词辨析。空格处所在句意为:一些分析人士认为官方贫困数字______真实的贫困______,因为这些数字仅仅测算了现金收入并且将诸如食品救助等政府的一些补贴排除在外。B.overstate“夸大,高估”,符合句意,为正确答案。understate“低估”,显然与文意不符;boast“夸口,吹牛”与exaggerate“夸大其辞”均表示主观上故意的夸大,不符合题意。
