问题 They believed that the merchants had conspired to undermine the nation’s economic independence.

选项 A、uphold
B、minimize
C、weaken
D、postpone

答案C

解析 uphold意为“支撑,赞成”;minimize意为“使最小化”;weaken意为“削弱,减弱”;postpone意为“延期,推迟”。undermine的宾语是the nation’s economic independence,即国家的经济独立性。由此可见,只有选项C能与其构成合理的搭配,即削弱国家的经济独立性。因而可推断,undermine在此和weaken同义。故正确答案C。
