Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Always ready to ______ achievement, Miller was as eager to praise a new production as the more mean-spirited critics were to ______ it.

A. reward . . review

B. impede . . ignore

C. recognize . . deride

D. expose . . study

E. embrace . . promote

正确答案:C

解析:

The sentence contrasts the “eager” nature of Miller’s response to new productions with that of “more mean-spirited critics.” Since Miller tends to “praise a new production,” it makes sense to say that he “recognizes,” or acknowledges, achievement, while “mean-spirited critics” are more likely to “deride,” or ridicule, it.
