A、exaggerated
B、celebrated
C、worsened
D、facilitated
【正确答案】:C
【名师解析】:选项C "worsened" 是正确的答案。在这个句子中,"exacerbated" 意味着经济问题被加剧或变得更糟。三个不好的收成导致了1960至1962年间国民收入和外贸总量的收缩,这表明经济问题不仅没有得到缓解,反而进一步恶化。其他选项 "exaggerated"(夸大),"celebrated"(庆祝),和 "facilitated"(促进)都不符合句子的语境。"Exaggerated" 表示问题被夸大了,而 "celebrated" 和 "facilitated" 则分别表示问题被庆祝或促进,这都与句子描述的经济问题加剧的情况不符。
