问题 He never (i)____ the wisdom I had claimed for him, and my friends quickly dismissed my estimate of his ability as (ii)____.

选项 A、repudiated…irony
B、inhibited…propaganda
C、demonstrated…hyperbole
D、masked…exaggeration
E、vindicated…understatement

答案C

解析 空格(ii):
- 方程等号:dismiss…as…即dismiss X as Y,意思是认为X具有Y的特征而不考虑X。X具有让人不予理会的特征,Y填入负评价词。
-强词和对应:根据dismissed…as…可知,第一个空就是对estimate of his ability的负评价。irony讽刺,propaganda宣传,hyperbole夸张,exaggeration夸张,understatement保守陈述。对能力的负评价可以高估可以低估,所以C、D、E都合适,但是由于my estimate就是同义重复wisdom,wisdom显然是对能力的高估,所以C和D合适。
空格(i):
- 方程等号:and连接平行结构,前后同义重复。never取反。
- 强词和对应:the wisdom和my estimate同义重复。never+空格(i)和空格(ii)同义重复,带入选项。因为空格(ii)是一个负向词,所以空格(i)是一个正向词。repudiate否认(错),inhibit抑制(错),demonstrate显露(对),mask掩盖(错),vindicate证明…正确(对)。综合空格(ii),答案选C。
