选项 A、convinced
B、consented
C、allowed
D、acknowledged
答案C
解析 如果学生不愿意学某些课程，就可以允许他们不学那些课程也能拿到学位，[A]convinced“使相信”，常用做be convinced of sth．或be convinced that／to do，在此处不符合文意；[B]consented“同意，许可”，不及物动词，不用作被动语态；[D]acknowledged“承认，答谢”，常用为be acknowledged as“被认为”，不合文意。be allowed to do sth．“允许(做)某事”，符合文意，故为正确选项。
