选项
A、declares
B、argues
C、claims
D、asserts
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。[C]claims意为“宣称,断言”,它是四个选项中唯一可以用作claim to do的选项,故选[C]。[A]declares意为“宣布,公布”,用法是“declare sth.(to be)”或“declare that…”,意为“宣布某事”;[B]argues意为“争论,争辩”,用法是“argue about/over sth.”或“argue that…”,意为“争论”;[D]asserts意为“断言,坚称”,用法是“assert sth.”或“assert that…”,意为“断言,坚持认为……”。[A]、[B]和[D]在用法上不符合文章要求,因此排除。
