:) ~~~继续支持楼主~~~~等待答案中……

lintelleUID: 2297267

clus做root的时候还有一个单词
reclusive
是clud不能root的一个单词
其他的单词这两个root都可以互换

还是奇怪第一题为什么不选A：缺乏时间结束更深远的讨论。 但是另一个翻译就是“缺少时间阻止更深远的讨论”貌似差不多的。

同楼上共问……如果是不能用CONCLUDED，是不是因为语法的问题啊？在第一题中应该是作不及物动词的用法吧；

lintelleUID: 2297267

语境问题。bring sth to an end，arrive a judgement，用conclude时基本上过程是完满结束的。现在的句义是缺乏时间，讨论没有继续下去。用conclude不如preclude合适
