题目解答

答案

C. touted

解析

本题考查动词的语境辨析，需要根据上下文选择最合适的词义。解题核心在于理解句子中“被宣传为”这一动作，以及选项中动词的常见用法。touted表示“吹嘘、宣传”，符合句中“世界上最高的养猪场”这一宣传性质的语境。

句子描述了一个多层养猪设施被宣传为“世界最高”的情况。需判断四个选项中哪个动词最符合语境：

  1. A. cemented（固定、巩固）：常用于描述关系或状态的确定，如“cemented their friendship”，与宣传无关。
  2. B. triggered（触发）：表示引发某种反应或事件，如“triggered a debate”，与宣传无关。
  3. C. touted（吹嘘、宣传）：常用于描述通过宣传夸大某事物，如“touted as the best product”，符合句中“被宣传为”的语境。
  4. D. expelled（驱逐）：表示强制离开，如“expelled from school”，与语境完全不符。

综上，touted最符合句意。
