问题 He did not relish appealing amongst his friends and ______ of their criticism or censure.

选项 A、running short
B、running out
C、running the gauntlet
D、running ahead

答案C

解析 本句空格处指的是受到朋友的抨击和斥责。run the gauntlet原指昔日的一种体罚“夹笞刑”,即受刑人从两排人之间跑过,由列队者殴打,后引申为“备受抨击”。 run short意为“快用完,缺乏”;run out意为“花完”;run ahead意为“超过,赶过”。正确答案为C项。
