为什么是C而不是D？
undercut不是削价与对手竞争的意思吗？
在这儿是什么意思？我觉得D挺好的啊
就快要考了，请各位指导我一下，谢谢！

前三个题目你是对的，我认为答案有问题

填空：选c，因为d中的document不合适，第一个空应该填一个削弱作用的词，
查一下MW, undercut的意思： to undermine or destroy the force, value, or effectiveness of

我认为这个填空是应该选D

document没有方向性，所以错

liliheUID: 147158

m-w上的解释：3 a : to provide with factual or substantial support for statements made or a hypothesis proposed;
所以我认为document有证明的意思，填上以后，这个句子说她希望他们给出理论证明，以为她以前的是推测。
呵呵，也是个人之见了，希望大家讨论互相学习哈。

我也觉得选D,而且跟一个在Berkeley读博士的老外讨论了这个问题.他也觉得只有D最合适.下面是他的原话:
问:我先给出题目
答:"Ok, this one is easy....only one of the words fits the second blank....conjecture."
问:"'Document' fits the first blank then?"
答:"It is the best fit, yes"
问:why?
答:Ok, this sentence structure suggests that she had some idea to begin with, but there was not hard evidence to support her idea yet.....she hopes they will provide (document) that evidence.

另外再结合楼上的解释,我也觉得只有D可能啊.
