题目内容
14.He has ________ office several times,but has never been elected.( )A. | brought about | B. | advertised in | C. | competed in | D. | stood for |
分析 他已经好几次竞选此职,但从未当选.
解答 答案C.
bring about"带来,导致,引起,产生";advertise in"在…中做广告";compete in"在…中竞争";stand for"代表,支持,象征".根据but he never been elected中的but可知前面的情况与这个分句所要表达的意思相反,compete in office意思是"竞争此职",因此答案选C.
