问题     Read the following passage and choose the best word for each space.
    Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any【C1】______know of. It serves directly to assist a rapid of goods at reasonable prices,【C2】______establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide【C3】______export at competitive prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it【C4】______an increasing need for labor, and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services:【C5】______advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television license would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or tube would cost 20 percent more.
    And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the products and services you buy【C6】______the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live【C7】______the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little【C8】______through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for mercifully the public has the good【C9】______not to buy the inferior article more than once. If you see an article【C10】______advertised, it is the surest proof. I know that the article does what is【C11】______for it, and that it represents good value.
    Advertising does more for the【C12】______benefit of the community than any other force I can think of.
    There is one more point I feel I ought to【C13】______on. Recently I heard a well-known television personality【C14】______that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was drawing【C15】______fine distinctions. Of course advertising【C16】______to persuade.
    If its message were【C17】______merely to information — and that in itself【C18】______difficult if not impossible to achieve,【C19】______even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is subtly persuasive — advertising would be so boring【C20】______no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants.
【C14】
选项 A、claim
B、state
C、declare
D、announce
答案C
解析 考点：近义词辨析。分析：本句意为：“最近我们听到一位电视名人——反对广告，因为它对人们劝说而不是提供信息。”4个选项的意思分别是：A．claim“声称(强调所陈述内容是事实)”；B．state“说，陈述(着重叙述自己的观点)”；C．declare“宣告(布)，表(声)明(一般指向公众正式宣告某重大的事件)”；D．announce“通知(指正式或公开宣布人们关心的事情)”。只有选项C．declare符合题意，故该选项正确。
