问题 They believed that the merchants had conspired to undermine the nation’s economic independence.
选项 A、uphold
B、minimize
C、weaken
D、postpone
答案C
解析 uphold意为“支撑，赞成”；minimize意为“使最小化”；weaken意为“削弱，减弱”；postpone意为“延期，推迟”。undermine的宾语是the nation’s economic independence，即国家的经济独立性。由此可见，只有选项C能与其构成合理的搭配，即削弱国家的经济独立性。因而可推断，undermine在此和weaken同义。故正确答案C。
