问题 He did not relish appealing amongst his friends and______of their criticism or censure.

选项 A、running short
B、running out
C、running the gauntlet
D、running ahead

答案C

解析本句空格处指的是受到朋友的抨击和斥责。run the gauntlet原指昔日的种体罚“夹笞刑”，即受刑人从两排人之间跑过，由列队者殴打，后引申为“备受抨击”。run short意为“快用完，缺乏”；run out意为“花完”；run ahead意为“超过，赶过”。正确答案为C项。
