Complete each of the following sentences with a (compound) word derived from the one(s) given in the brackets.
These （ ）bosses always seem to give in at the first sign of a strike. (chicken, heart)
【正确答案】：CHICKEN-HEARTED
【题目解析】：
本题考查的是常见单词的复合形容词。
由bosses可知，空缺处应填形容词修饰名词，heart为名词，需加后缀-ed与chicken组成复合形容词chicken-hearted意为“胆小的”，give in意为“屈服，投降”，at the first sign of意为“一有...的迹象”。
句意：一有罢工的迹象，这些老板似乎就会屈服。
