The fire has caused great losses, but the factory tried to ______ the con sequences by saying that the damage was not as serious as reported.
选项
A、decrease
B、subtract
C、minimize
D、degrade
答案
C
解析
此题考查动词词义。这场大火造成了巨大损失,但厂方却说,损失没有报道得那么严重,竭力低估大火造成的后果。minimize意为“缩小,减少”;decrease意为“减少,(有“逐渐减少”的意思,可指数量、质量、尺寸、强度或重要性等方面的减少或减小)”;subtract意为“减去”;degrade意为“(地位身份等)下降,堕落”。
