GRE等价试题
That art wields political power is not an incontrovertible position—if it is even true at all: Picasso’s Guernica, a painting capturing the wanton plundering of a Spanish village, hangs almost _____ in the Guggenheim, framed by a soft light best befitting a seaside idyll.
A.demurely
B.grotesquely
C.askew
D.self-effacingly
E.peacefully
F.frivolously
A.demurely
B.grotesquely
C.askew
D.self-effacingly
E.peacefully
F.frivolously
参考答案
正确答案：AD
解析：
The sentence is questioning whether art has any real strength. It offers up what is ostensibly a powerful portrait capturing the horrors of war. "...is not an incontrovertible...", however, suggests that Guernica is going to seem almost meek. (A) and (D) are both synonyms for meek.
(E) is a great trap, especially because of "seaside idyll." But that describes the light more than the picture. Also, there is no match for (E) amongst the answer choices.
