As a pacifist, he abhors all violence and believes in peaceful conflict resolution. What does "abhore" mean?()

A. To profit from

B. To be indifferent to

C. To feel intense dislike for

D. To actively support

题目解答

答案

C. To feel intense dislike for

解析

本题考查词汇理解能力，核心在于掌握动词“abhore”的具体含义。解题关键点在于：

  1. 联系已知单词：“abhore”与“abhor”（意为“憎恶、厌恶”）词根相同，可推测其含义。
  2. 结合语境：句中“pacifist”（和平主义者）与“violent”（暴力）形成对比，暗示“abhore”表达强烈负面情感。

选项分析

A. To profit from（获益于）：与“憎恶”语境不符，排除。
B. To be indifferent to（对...漠不关心）：程度较弱，无法体现“强烈反感”，排除。
C. To feel intense dislike for（对...感到强烈厌恶）：与“abhor”的语义一致，符合题意。
D. To actively support（积极支持）：与“憎恶”完全相反，排除。

结论

通过词根联想和语境匹配，正确答案为 C。
