Within the next decade, sophisticated telescopes now orbiting the Earth will determine whether the continents really are moving, ___the incipient___ among geologists about the validity of the theory of continental drift.
(A) obviating.. consensus
(B) forestalling.. rift
(C) escalating.. debates
(D) engendering.. speculation
(E) resolving.. rumors
正确答案选B。我没想通的是,forestall是预先阻止的意思啊,prevent by prior measures,这个预先是怎么看出来的?
诶....之后我查Thesaurus, forestall 的同义词又有prevent,avert,那就没有预先的意思了?
