答案A

解析 此题属于语意搭配题。dissolve表示"分解,结束(正式的组织)",例如:The society was dissolved due to lack of members.(因会员不足,该协会解散了)。原文句中主语为currency boards(货币委员会),应是,正式组织,故其解散用选项dissolved。选项discharge表示"排出,解雇,允许离开",例如:Patients were discharged from hospital because the beds were needed by other people.(病人被允许离开医院,因为有别的人需要病床)。选项dismiss表示"解雇,撤职,打发走,正式地命令离开",例如:dismiss the class;选项dispel表示"驱散,清除(恐惧、疑惑或错误的想法)",如:I’d like to start the speech by dispelling a few rumours.(我想以澄清一些谣言作为我讲话的开始)。
