选项
A、effect
B、affect
C、result
D、execute
答案
A
解析
词义搭配。effect vt.(=bring about, accomplish)产生,引起,实现,完成,例如:effect one’s purpose达到目的;effect cure完成治疗,治愈。affect vt.影响;result vi(in)导致;(from)起因于。execute vt(=carry out)执行,实施,常与下列名词搭配:a command,a plan,a will(遗嘱),a piece of work。本句中空格后是an ultimate cure,故选effect符合词义与惯用的原则。
