问题 The purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph One is ______ .
The example of tantalize is to show ______ .
选项 A、how the word came into existence
B、how Tantalus was punished in the lower world
C、how all English dictionaries show word origins
D、how the meaning of the word changed over the years
答案A
解析 推理判断题。根据首段可以看出tantalize是作为一个源自神话的词汇例子来进行解释的，首段给出tantalize的含义，但没有说明该词含义是如何变化的，排除[D]。[B]是解释该词来历时的细节，例证是为主旨服务的，故tantalize这个例子不是用来说明另一细节的，排除。[C]与第四句“许多(不是所有)英语词典都在括号中简要给出词源”矛盾，排除。[A]是对词源的阐释，而词源正是本文主题，故为正确答案。
