请教一道Magoosh的单空题

银鱼几几UID: 3530927

History has recast the 15th century Florentine monk Girolamo Savonarola as a rabble-rousing zealot lording over the "bonfire of the vanities”; yet this so-called _______ --mainly because he directed his censure at the church--was a crusader for austerity and thus a check on a papacy that had run a course of profligacy.

选项是：
ascetic
nonpartisan
Click to define this word
heretic
martyr
libertine

答案在下面（可以先看题，再往下拉）


答案是heretic
希望和大家交流一下，讲解里说他是rabble-rousing zealot，并且是 the fact that he is a crusader for austerity，根据反对church的原因，就能推断出异教徒。这个理解似乎很合理，但是觉得要对宗教比较了解，比如要知道在church里是铺张浪费之类。请问有没有更好的解题方法呢？

楼主，注意空格后面的  mainly because he directed his censure at the church
一般挑战教会的要么就是异端要么就是犬儒。。。。关键是别的都不太合适啊。。。
逻辑永远战胜自己臆测的句意啊

--mainly because he directed his censure at the church  空格中的词要对应这句话----所以是heretic 与church的特点无关系，gre永远是考察逻辑而一般不考察文化背景知识，除了了cynic 和chauvinistic这种常识

谢谢，回答得真到位。我发现对censure 的理解不到位，本来认为只是类似于censor的审查，其实这里是公开表示反对，谴责，和denounce的意思一样。

还要再多刷几遍3000
