Short stories are due a revival. In recent years, there have been critically【C1】________collections by American writers such as Lydia Davis and Junot Diaz. But few others manage to【C2】________the bestseller lists, and they are all too often【C3】________by novels.【C4】________their heyday in the early 20th century, short stories are mostly viewed as trials or experiments before an author【C5】________with the real thing.
John Burnside, a Scottish poet and novelist,【C6】________, this fixed idea in his latest collection, "Something Like Happy". Over 13 stories, Mr Burnside shows the versatility of the condensed【C7】________His stories take place mostly in Scotland, in flats "high up on the third floor of an apartment block in the middle of Dundee" or in the back room of a hardware shop,【C8】________men drink "sweet, milky coffee"【C9】________waiting for the results of the races.

选项
A、challenges
B、favors
C、demonstrates
D、suggests
答案
A
解析
前段提到“人们现在大多认为短篇小说就是作家‘动真格’前对真实事物的尝试或实验。”空格下一句的shows the versatility of…是对John Burnside的褒奖,结合前文说短篇小说的复兴,故推断这里说的是对前文提及的成见的不认同,故答案选A项challenges“挑战”。John Burnside若是赞同、展示或建议“写短篇小说只是个试验”这个观点,就不可能在他的短篇小说集展示才华,因此排除其他三项。
