问题 A corrupt public official was______by colleagues afraid of inquires into their own affairs.
选项 A、palliated
B、glossed over
C、whitewashed
D、extenuated
答案D
解析 句意：贪官们官官相护来掩盖自己的罪行。这几个词都有“使错误或罪过看起来不那么严重和应受谴责”的意思。extenuate指“用偏袒的辩解或借口企图减轻罪行、过错等的严重性，声称其是轻微的；为……找借口”，在此有“袒护，偏袒”的含义，因此D选项符合句意。palliate意为“减轻(病痛等)；掩饰(罪过、错误等)”。gloss o一ver无视；掩盖。whitewash粉饰；美化。
