The President failed in his attempts to win the second term because he hadn't fulfilled his _ made in the previous election.
A. commitments
B. advantages
C. superiorities
D. convictions
题目解答
答案
A. commitments
解析
本题考查名词词义辨析,核心在于理解句子语境中空格处所需表达的含义。关键点在于“failed to fulfill”和“made in the previous election”的搭配。需要选择一个既能体现“承诺”性质,又能与“选举”语境匹配的词汇。
选项分析
- A. commitments:意为“承诺、职责”,常用于表示政治人物在竞选中做出的承诺,符合“需要被履行”的语境。
- B. advantages:意为“优势、有利条件”,与“履行”搭配不当,且无法体现“竞选中提出的内容”。
- C. superiorities:意为“优越性”,与句意无关,且语义过强。
- D. convictions:意为“信念、信仰”,虽可被“履行”,但通常不用于描述选举中的具体承诺。
关键逻辑
总统连任失败的原因在于未兑现竞选承诺,而“commitments”是政治语境中最常用的表达,直接对应“履行”动作。
