Question

【题目】I had no idea that one simple comment would ________ such a huge argument.

A.go out

B.go off

C.set out

D.set off

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】

考查动词短语辨析。句意：我不知道一个简单的评论会引起这么大的争论。A. go out出去；熄灭；过时；B. go off离开；进行；变质；睡去；断掉；爆炸；C. set out出发；开始；陈述；陈列；D. set off出发；引起；动身；使爆炸；抵销；分开。结合句意可知，comment为原因，argument为结果，评论引起争论。D项set off有“引起”含义。故选D项。
