问题 　　Spirits were high at the prestigious Imperial Hotel in Tokyo on July 24th as the top brass of Nikkei, Japan’s largest media company, gathered before local newspapermen to broadcast their purchase of the Financial Times. "I don’t have the skill to read it but I do gaze upon it," declared Tsuneo Kita, Nikkei’s chairman. Many big, global names in journalism have at one time or another been outed as imminent buyers for the paper, but never that of Nikkei, which remains relatively unknown in the West. On July 23rd the FT Group’s current owner, Pearson, a British education and media conglomerate, said it would sell the paper to Nikkei for ?844m ($1.3 billion). Nikkei narrowly beat Germany’s Axel Springer, a more diversified media group.
　　In kinder times for newspapers, Marjorie Scardino, a former chief executive of Pearson, said the FT would be sold "over my dead body". For nearly 60 years the FT has added excitement to Pearson’s more stolid education businesses, and been a potent calling card in countries ready for business expansion, such as America, Brazil and China. The current boss, John Fallon, said the prompt for selling the paper was the growth of mobile and social media platforms which had brought an "inflection point" in the media world. A better home for the FT would be a global, digital news company such as Nikkei, he said.
What does Marjorie Scardino mean by saying the FT would be sold "over my dead body"?
选项 A、The FT is a potent calling cards for many countries that want to expand.
B、The FT can only be sold with agreement of the Pearson.
C、The growth of mobile and social media platform push FT to death.
D、The selling of the FT is strongly opposed by him.
答案D
解析 推断题。根据第二段可知，在光景好的时候Marjorie Scardino说除非他死了，才能把《金融时报》卖掉，故他是反对卖掉《金融时报》的。
