A、strengthened
B、experimented
C、franchised
D、weakened
【正确答案】:A
【名师解析】:选项A "strengthened" 是正确的答案。在这个句子中,"bolstered" 的意思是加强或增强了某物,特别是指在力量、稳定性或有效性方面的增强。考虑到句子的上下文,即美国在中东事务上关注了十年后,最近在亚太地区加强了自己的存在,选项A "strengthened" 与 "bolstered" 的含义最为接近,都传达了美国在亚太地区增强了其影响力或军事力量的意思。其他选项B "experimented" 意为尝试,C "franchised" 意为特许经营,D "weakened" 意为削弱,都不符合句子的语境。
