选项
A、business
B、estate
C、obligation
D、property
答案
D
解析
business生意,事务;estate地产,财产;obligation义务,责任;property财产,资产。根据句意可知,此处要表达的是这些黄金是英国和苏联的财产。从四个选项的词义可排除A,C两项。estate和property都有财产的意思。但property侧重于指金钱上的财产,如:Some of the stolen property was found in Mason’s house.(在梅森的房子里找到了一些被盗的财物。)而estate侧重于指地产,如:He owns a large estate in Scotland.(他在苏格兰有大量地产。)根据上下文可知property较为合适,故选D。
