问题 The EU has boxed in the inflow of refugees via the eastern Mediterranean route, which saw a 98% plunge of arrivals. However, it still ______ migratory pressure, particularly from the central Mediterranean route.

选项 A、takes the brink of
B、takes responsibility for
C、carries the responsibility of
D、bears the brunt of

答案D

解析 本题考查动词短语辨析。根据However可知,其前后两个句子为转折关系,即虽然欧盟已经限制了地中海东部路线的难民流人,但是欧盟还是承受着移民压力的冲击。bear the brunt of意为“受到冲击最大,首当其冲”,符合语义,故答案为[D]项。take the brink of意为“走到……的边缘,濒临”;take responsibility for意为“对……负责,承担……的责任”;carry the responsibility of意为“承担……的责任”。
