(6)_____ mention, of course, of the right to vote—but then that has been (7)_____ to men too, though local elections, on an apparently universal franchise, are supposed to be held in October.

选项
A、destroy
B、defy
C、decimate
D、dilate
答案
A
解析
destroy摧毁,毁坏、defy公然反抗;蔑视、decimate大批杀死;大大减少、dilute削弱;降低;冲淡;稀释。本题是一道句子之间的语意逻辑推导题。本题所在句的前一句话指出:美国人试图把自己的价值观强加于包括阿拉伯国家在内的别国。由此可以推断出:这种行径旨在试图毁灭伊斯兰世界。故本题的正确答案应该是"destroy"(摧毁)。
