选项 A、apparent
B、distinct
C、distinguished
D、evident
答案B
解析 形容词辨析题。本题需要考生在通读全文后才能做出正确的解答。联系上下文可知，本文讲述了获得自由的美国黑人在北部与南部不同的遭遇。因此，[A]、[B]、[D]都有“明显的”之意，但意思略有区别，[B]distinct“明显的，不同的”，强调区别性特征，或一物与另一物的差异性，符合题意，为正确答案。[A]apparent“显然的，外观上的”，强调表面上能看出的，[D]evident“明显的”，强调根据一定的迹象能看出的，[C]distinguished表示“著名的”，与原文意义不符。
