问个陈圣元填空的问题~【2】

最后的战役UID: 3382274

陈圣元S45/7:
The actual __ of Wilson’s position was always __ by his refusal to compromise after having initially agreed to negotiate a settlement.
A outcome...foreshadowed
B logic...enhanced
C rigidity...betrayed
D uncertainty...alleviated
E cowardice...highlighted

这题选C，yet~but~however
1.我感觉rigidity放在这里读不太通，说他暴露了rigidity是因为后面他又拒绝对一开始要协商的意见进行让步，到底该怎么理解？
2.另外我觉得A还蛮好的，虽然有点抽象，但至少表现了他的立场的不确定，求反驳...

betray在这里考的意思是 reveal
foreshadow的意思是 to indicate, to represent
简化一下 His outcome is indicated by his refusal to compromise.
Outcome不合适，因为没有强调出表达的效果

明白了，我把foreshadow错理解为shadow的意思了，所以觉得A有点模棱两可了；
另外就是没有把rigidity理解得太“rigid”了，refusal to compromise= devoid of flexibility=rigidity
(当时做题的时候可能更加注意和后面的after having initially agreed to negotiate a settlement比较，然后可能就想多了…)
我做填空的时候还没有简化句子的习惯，而且总是注意一些细枝末节非主干的东西，可能跟我还是的阅读水平和习惯有关，看来还得多练习，谢谢CR版大！~
