问题 In his youth the naturalist and artist James Audubon was given to________glamorous tales about himself: he falsely claimed to have studied under a renowned French painter and hinted that he was the heir apparent to the French throne.
选项 A、disavowing
B、understating
C、constraining
D、obfuscating
E、concocting
答案E
解析 同义解释类题目，冒号表示对于前面内容的解释。短语be given to意为“沉溺于……，倾向于……”，所以空格表示的是詹姆斯.奥杜邦在年轻的时候对关于自己的迷人的故事的一个动作。冒号后面在说，他谎称自己在一位有名的法国画家门下做过研究，并且又是法国王位继承人，这明显是在吹牛，那么空格就应该体现出这个人“吹牛，捏造”的特点，与falsely claim对应，所以选择E项concocting(编造)。
