1.As the finances of the energy-trading firm began unraveling, what eventually became (i)
________ was that the company had been concocting “value” out of thin air, thanks not to the
trading strategies it promoted as visionary but to financial (ii) ________ that turned a once-solid
entity into the most notorious (iii) ________ in an era of corporate scandals.
blank(i) A.vindicated B.unmistakable C.unverifiable
blank(ii) D.redemption E. responsibilities F.games
blank(iii) G.omission H.boon I debacle
vindicate:to free from allegation or blame,(证明清白)。unmistakable:not capable of being mistaken or misunderstood(确切的)。unverifiable:unable to be confirmed or verified an unverifiable rumor(无法确定的)。
综合上下文,由前文unraveling(揭露)可知这里填一个能体现揭露的词,所以B最合适。A,这里没有洗脱罪责,证明清白的意思。C意思完全相反。
另外当时我做这道题的时候,倒是觉得games这个选项蛮诡异的_(:з」∠)_

懂了,unmistakable总是记成完美的意思,看了韦氏也没纠正过来。。games我理解的是redemption 和responsibility 都是正向意义的词,鉴于空格后面that解释把 once-solid entity(正向)变成了the most notorious 所以空格应该填负向意义的吧,答案解释的是从concocting "value" out of thin air看出tricky也对吧
