A committee of eminent(著名的)trustees was【C1】______to organize the museum in a 17th-century mansion called Montagu House, bought with【C2】______raised by a public lottery, and late in 1758 the trustees decided to open to the public, though as David Wilson makes clear in his history of the museum, they had reservations about who should be let in.

选项
答案
H
解析
形容词辨析题。分析句意可知,佣人和低等阶层的人的出现可能会让来自——社会阶层的参观者觉得不舒服。lower classes“低等阶层”和——up the social ladder形成鲜明的对比,故空格处应为lower的反义词。结合选项可知,higher“更高的”符合句意,故为答案。
