问题 According to the passage, Craig Conway
The phrase "smoking gun" in the first paragraph probably means

选项 A、conclusive evidence.
B、unconvincing excuse.
C、fundamental conflict.
D、irresistible cause.

答案A

解析本题问第一段中"smoking gun"的意思。文章首段说克雷格.康韦在处理对手甲骨文公司的恶意竞标时十分笨拙；三位直接向他负责的经理几近辞职；而且董事会对他向分析人士所做的"虚假陈述"很不满意。他因此而不受欢迎。但这三件事都不属于确凿的证据。所以即使解雇了康韦先生，董事会也承认他们没有确凿的证据。因此，"确凿的证据"正确。不能令人信服的借口：与上下文逻辑不符。基本矛盾：文中讨论的是康韦先生被解职的原因，而不是矛盾的问题。不可抗拒的原因：文中并非指天灾等不可抗拒的原因，而是说董事会没有特别确凿的证据能够证明康韦先生失职。
