Though she would _____ at a mere peccadillo, she would, with nary more than a wagging finger, condone far more untenable behavior.
A.bridle
B.quibble
C.bristle
D.beam
E.chortle
F.guffaw

参考答案

正确答案:AC
解析:
"Untenable behavior" is inexcusable behavior. Yet, the 'she' condones such behavior. Much more inoffensive behavior ('peccadillo' means a minor sin) she will find offensive.
(A) and (C) both mean to express anger.
(D), (E), and (F) all mean to express merriment, which is the opposite of what the context indicates. (B) means only to express a minor reservation.
