Peoples’ decisions about childbearing depend on innumerable personal considerations and societal factors, yet even knowing this, demographers are often ______: their projections of birth rates frequently turn out to be embarrassingly at odds with reality.
A. sanguine
B. flummoxed C. inconsistent D. overconfident E. heartened
F. confounded
这个题题干貌似不难懂, 选的应该是innumerable的反面。前面讲innumerable,然后yet转折。冒号表解释,their projections of birth rates frequently turn out to be embarrassingly at odds with reality就是解释这个词的。我也没选对,看来还是单词不过关
