问一道PP2的填空

zoe0922

clearly the government faced a dilemma: it could hardly_____trials, especially in the absence of irrefutable evidence, but it also would not welcome, in the midst of war, the scandal that would arise if trials were avoided.

be keen on
be inclined to
arrange
dispense with
turn its back on
credit

答案选前两个， 想问的问题是，这道题找不到空格对应的地方，是 if trials were avoided这块，还是it also would not welcome。 个人初判是it also would not welcome，所以选错。 麻烦给个句子中文解释，谢谢啦

it could hardly ___trials 跟 trials were avoided 相对应的。意思大概是政府在缺少有力的证据的时候很难倾向于审判，但这同样不会受欢迎，在战争期间如果审判被避免的话，批评就会增多

所以空的地方应该跟avoid 相反的意思
