问题 By the early eighth century, the Byzantine empire had lost roughly two-thirds of the territory it had possessed in the year 600, and its remaining area was being raided by Arabs and Bulgarians, who at times threatened to take Constantinople and______the empire altogether.

选项 A、regain
B、diminish
C、extinguish
D、withstand

答案C

解析 四个选项的意思分别是:regain重新获得,恢复;diminish减小,减弱,降低;extinguish消除,使破灭;withstand经受,承受。空格所在句主要是说,阿拉伯人和保加利亚人入侵拜占庭帝国剩余的领土,他们威胁要攻占君士坦丁堡,并让这个帝国彻底灭亡。据此可知,正确答案是C选项。
