问题 The process of establishing a literary canon is seen by some as, in part, an attempt by certain scholars to make their own labors central and to relegate the work of others to______status.
A orthodox
B marginal
C mainstream
D definitive
E conditional
F peripheral

选项

答案B,F

解析 The attempt by certain scholars to make their own work central is contrasted to the way they treat the work of others. The blank, then, must be completed with a pairing whose meaning is the opposite of central. Of the choices, "orthodox," "mainstream," and "definitive" are all too close in meaning to "central" to provide the necessary contrast; therefore they are incorrect. "Conditional" suggests a status that is yet to be determined, a nuance unsupported by anything else in the sentence; therefore it is also incorrect. The two remaining answers, "marginal" and "peripheral," are synonyms with meanings that contrast nicely with "central."
Thus the correct answer is marginal(Choice B)and peripheral(Choice F).
