选项 A、contrive
B、convince
C、convert
D、convict
答案B
解析 此题属于形近词辨析题。convince sb. to do/of sth.表示"劝服某人"，根据句意：教练们先是确认有发展前途的高中生后，就会到其所在学校说服这些全国最优秀的运动员，故选项convince正确。选项contrive表示"图谋，设法"，如：contrive a way of escaping；选项convert表示：使改变(形式、形状等)，常与介词into/to/for等连用；选项convict声示"判某人有罪"，如：The criminal was convicted of murder．全句可译为：大学的教练们确认了有发展前途的高中生后，就会到其所在高中说服这些全国最优秀的运动员上他们所在的大学。
