问题 The children’s______natures were in sharp contrast to the even-tempered dispositions of their parents.
选项
答案A
解析 The children’s natures are the opposite to those of their parents; since the parents are even tempered, the word that fills the blank must mean the opposite of even tempered. "Mercurial," meaning quickly changing, exactly fits, so it is the correct choice. Although the other answer choices encompass a range of temperaments("blithe" means happy, "phlegmatic" means unemotional, "apathetic" means uncaring), none suggest a tendency to change from one state to another, so none of them contrast as well with "even-tempered."
Thus the correct answer is mercurial(Choice A).
