问题     He is a 29-year-old air force pilot assigning to a six-week mission l. ______
flying an air-sea rescue helicopter, and his commanders have insisted that
his be a "normal operational deployment" and have asked local people and 2.______
the news media to pay him much special attention. 3. ______
    But anonymity seems likely to be exclusive when Flight Lt. William 4.______
Wales, a.k.a. Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge and second in line to
the British throne, arrives in the Falkland Islands to begin his first overseas
military tour at the Mount Pleasant air base on the islands.
    Prince William will be deploying barely two months before the 30th
anniversary of Argentine invasion of the islands on April 2, 1982, at a 5.______
time when muffled drum rolls can be heard as the governments in London
and Buenos Aires square off with each other again over its rival claims to 6. ______
sovereignty over the islands.
    The prince volunteered on the deployment as part of the flight training 7. ______
needed to be promoted to squadron leader and take the command seat in
the Sea King helicopters he flies.
    The fact that he will be arriving on the eve of the anniversary,
senior British commanders say, is purely coincidence and not at all the 8. ______
"provocation" the Argentine government has called it.
    Consequently, Prince William is big news in Britain, seen by many, 9.______
with his wife, Catherine, as the potential savior of the monarchy after the
indiscretions that has tainted the reputations of other young royals in recent 10.______
years. The story of the young prince flying into a political storm — almost
literally — seems sure to be irresistible to Britain’s sensationalist tabloids.  
选项
答案exclusive——elusive
解析 本题为形容词误用。两个词形似义异，exclusive表示“排除在外的”，elusive表示“难以实现的”。根据句子的意思，王子想保持低调是很难做到的，故用后者。
