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)。
