Falling sales in Thailand were 【offset】 by strong performances in other markets.
A、influenced
B、bargained
C、offended
D、balanced
【正确答案】:D
【名师解析】:在这句话中,"offset"是一个动词,意味着“抵消”或“平衡”。句子描述的是泰国的销售下降,但是其他市场的强劲表现抵消了这种下降。因此,正确答案是选项D "balanced",它与"offset"的含义相符,表示销售下降被其他市场的增长所平衡。其他选项A "influenced"(影响),B "bargained"(讨价还价),C "offended"(冒犯)都与原句的意思不符。
