This journalistic campaign was initially (i)_____, appealing to readers sense of communal duty, and became even more (ii)_____ once the war started, as smallpox outbreaks began to occur on Philadelphia’s outskirts.
答案:
AE
解析:
even more能看出前后两个空格有递进关系,appearing to说明刚开始只是一种劝告,吸引大家做这件事,后来变得紧急了。
So,符合这个递进关系的是AE选项。hortatory劝告的,urgent紧迫的。
其他选项:ineffective无效的,widespread广泛传播的,controversial有争议的,inopportune不合适的。
翻译:
