With some things it is impossible to【C6】______all the diverse publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the approval of creditors and stockholders,【C7】____________ it will undoubtedly find【C8】______from employees who see their jobs【C9】______On the other hand, high-quality products and service standards should bring almost complete approval,【C10】______low-quality products and【C11】______claims would be widely looked down upon.

【C11】
选项 A、false
B、fake
C、artificial
D、counterfeit
答案A
解析 根据上题，前后两句是对比关系，high—quality对应low-quality，那么claims应该对应上文的service standards，意指“虚张声势、虚假宣传”。四个选项中，A选项false意为“虚伪的，假的，不正确的”，B选项fake意为“伪造的，冒充的”，C选项artificial意为“人造的，不自然的”，D选项counterfeit意为“假冒的，仿造的”。形容一个主张或声称不真实，用false更贴切，其他选项可以用来形容产品，而非claims。
