问题 The following units are responsible for the health of Long Island Sound EXCEPT______.
What is probably the meaning of "falter"(Para.4)?

选项 A、succeed
B、finish
C、stumble
D、fall

答案C

解析猜词题。原句为"Audubon New York, a leader among the environmental groups that helped shape the agreement and move it forward when negotiations seemed to falter, called the agreement an historic moment in the struggle to restore the Sound to good health."(Audubon是环境组织的领导人之一，他在谈判看起来踌躇不前时促成了协议，并推动其前进，将之称为在恢复Sound健康风貌努力中的一个历史性时刻。)由此可以推断，falter表达的意思应该是负面的，选项C体现了这个意义，表示谈判不顺利。
