America is one of many countries where the state gives a leg-up to members of certain racial, ethnic, or other groups by holding them to different standards. The details【C1】______. In some countries, the policy applies only to areas under direct state control, such as public-works contracts or【C2】______to public universities. In others, private firms are also obliged to take account of the race of their employees, contractors and even owners. But the effects are strikingly similar around the world.
Many of these policies were put in place with the best of intentions: to【C3】______ for past injustices and purify their legacy. No one can deny that, for example, blacks in America have suffered awful wrongs, and continue to suffer【C4】______. Favouring members of these groups seems like a quick and effective way of making society【C5】______.

But a study found that at some American universities, black applicants who scored 450 points worse than Asians on entrance tests were【C8】______ likely to win a place.

选项
答案
B
解析
空格后的purify跟空格处并列,因此空格处应填入与purify词性相同的动词。空格前提到the best of intentions“美好的愿望”,冒号后的内容具体说明美好的愿望,既然是美好的愿望,那就应该是“弥补过去的不公正”,词库中的compensate意为“补偿”,符合语境。
