选项 A、deliberations
B、meditations
C、reflections
D、speculations

答案A

解析 考查名词辨析。空格处的名词和discussions由连词or连接,两者形成了平行结构,语义相近,指“一群人的行为”。对比四个选项可知,A.deliberations和discussions同义,常用作复数,意为“商议,审议”,是正确答案。meditation作不可数名词时,意为“(尤指宗教的)沉思,冥想”,作可数名词时,意为“沉思录”;reflection作不可数名词时,意为“沉思,审慎的思考”,作可数名词时,意为“思考,回忆”;speculations指“推测,猜测”,均不符合题意。
