问题 It is a testimony to Roth’s______that he could not quite bring himself to write a book as dull and flat as his original conception for his novel Everyman seemed to demand.
A persistence
B deterioration
C talent
D ambition
E decline
F genius
选项
答案C,F
解析 The sentence suggests that both Roth’s original conception and his execution were negative, but it relies on the contrast between these to create irony. While the "deterioration" and "decline" produce sentences alike in meaning, they do not capture the irony demanded by the use of the word "quite." While "ambition" and "persistence" may each capture that irony, there are no other words that when paired with them would produce sentences alike in meaning.
Thus the correct answer is talent(Choice C)and genius(Choice F).
