Borrowing has caused word-meaning changes，as indicated in“（ ） formerly meant animal，and later animal from Latin and beast from French found their way into English .”
A、deer
B、cattle
C、sheep
D、bird
【正确答案】：A
【题目解析】：大量借词的涌入也引起了一些词的意义变化。deer原义为动物，后来animal一词从拉丁语借来，beast一词从法语借来，三个词是同义的，于是animal保持原义，deer词义缩小，beast的词义改变了色彩。
