Of wealth, power and prestige, power is the hardest to measure. Most studies are nothing more than an average of 【C2】______ about where power is found. Many forms of power are so 【C3】______ hidden that only its holders know the source. Because it’s so hard to 【C4】______ , and tied to ideology, the subject of power is a source of much 【C5】______ in sociology.

选项
A、knowledge
B、source
C、origin
D、background
答案
D
解析
名词语义题。根据句意:具有共同背景的少数人,只有选项D background合适。选项A knowledge表示“知识,学问”,过于空泛且过于严格;选项B source表示“源头,来源”,搭配不当,一般不用来修饰人;选项C origin意思是“起源,出身”,语义过窄。
