Katja Hall, deputy director-general of Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said that,【C2】______the EU was the UK’s largest export market, it was no surprise to see European languages so【C3】______valued.

选项
A、studied
B、found
C、figured
D、estimated
答案
B
解析
考查动词辨析。分析句子结构可知,空格处所填动词为整句的谓语,后面带有that宾语从句,主语为survey,提取主干,此句为survey______that…。联系上下文可知,空格后面的内容为此项研究的发现。故B.found“发现”,符合题意,为正确答案。study“研究”,figure“计算,推测”,estimate“估计”,均不符合题意,故排除。
