Question

(2013·湖北高考)While intelligent people can often ________ the complex, a fool is more likely to complicate the simple.

A．sacrifice B．substitute C．simplify D．survive

 

Answer 1

C

【解析】C　考查動詞辨析。句意：聰明人常常能使復雜的事簡單化，然而愚蠢的人更有可能使簡單的事復雜化。sacrifice犧牲，奉獻；substitute代替，取代；simplify使……簡單化；survive幸存，幸免于。前后分句表對比，故C項符合句意。
