The ideas of the pragmatists were considered【C3】______when they first appeared.

The【C8】______of these absolutes, critics feared, could result in a(n) 【C9】______in moral standards.

选项
A、confusing
B、fundamental
C、controversial
D、dominant
答案
B
解析
confusing令人迷惑的;fundamental基本的;controversial有争议的;dominant统治的,主导的。由前文可知,伴随着工业化和物质进步,传统的宗教信仰和价值观逐渐衰落,因此有必要重新思考关于价值、宗教、科学、社会和个人观念,由此可知,此处表示的意思是“最基本的”,故选B。
