In Babel No More, Michael Erard investigates the legend of Mezzofanti and(3)_____ linguistic geniuses.(4)_____on Erard asks what it means to really know a language.

选项
A、surveys
B、leads
C、tests
D、recruits
答案
A
解析
上文提到没有对语言天才进行研究,因此,此处应该表达与研究(study)相关的含义。下文是语言天才的回答(they say),故此处填入sur-veys“调查”与之呼应。leads“领导”,tests“测试”,recruits“招生”。
