GRE等价试题

If good taste has _____ the vampire genre tired and trite, the entertainment industry surely is not listening: for every bloodsucker baring fangs there is a hack baring some script.
A.found
B.deemed
C.expected
D.discovered
E.demeaned
F.anticipated

参考答案

正确答案:AB
解析:
This is a tough question because the word 'found' is being used in a different sense than is typical. To make matters worse, the usual sense of 'found' has the synonym discover, answer choice (D). The fact, that (D) "sounds" right if you plug it into the blank makes this a fiendishly difficult question.

What, though, does it mean to discover something as trite? Would you say after watching a generic film that you discovered it trite? You would, however, say that you found it trite. In this sense, 'found' means judged. The only synonym is (B).
