Directions: This is an incomplete sentence and four choices marked
A. authority
B. authoritarianism
C. authoritarian
D. Choose the best one of them to complete the sentence. The management displays a strong tendency towards ____.
题目解答
答案
B. authoritarianism
解析
本题考查名词与形容词的辨析以及语境理解。关键点在于:
- 确定词性:空格前为介词
towards,需接名词或动名词,因此排除形容词选项C。 - 语境匹配:
authoritarianism表示“威权主义”,强调一种政治或管理倾向,与strong tendency搭配更贴切。 - 区分近义词:
authority指“权威”,更偏向具体权力,而authoritarianism强调“主义”或“倾向”,符合题干中“倾向”的抽象表达。
选项分析
- A. authority:指“权威”或“权力”,如
government authority(政府权威)。但题干强调“倾向”,而非具体权力,故不符合。 - B. authoritarianism:指“威权主义”,描述一种高压管理或政治倾向,与
tendency搭配自然,正确。 - C. authoritarian:形容词,需修饰名词(如
authoritarian regime),但空格需名词,排除。 - D.(未给出):假设为其他词,但根据逻辑,
B最符合语境。
关键结论
tendency towards后需接抽象概念,authoritarianism作为名词,准确表达“威权倾向”。
