(6)_____ mention, of course, of the right to vote—but then that has been (7)_____ to men too, though local elections, on an apparently universal franchise, are supposed to be held in October.

选项 A、aware
B、supportive
C、wary
D、indicative
答案C
解析 aware意识到；知道的、supportive支持的；赞同的、wary谨防的；唯恐的；警惕的，谨慎的、indicative标志的；象征的；暗示的。本题是一道语意逻辑推理题。本题空白处前面是主语"未经人民选举的国家领导人"；本题空白处后面是"可能导致这些国家领导人倒台的改革"。由此可以推断出："未经人民选举的国家领导人"对"可能导致自己垮台的改革"一定是持恐慌和警惕的态度。故本题的正确答案应该是"wary"(唯恐的，警惕的)。
