A:demanded
B:provoked
C:extracted
D:denied

参考答案:B

本题考查的是对动词的认知能力。本句意思:我们通过讨论探出真相。 elicit探出,例如:At last we have elicited the answer from him.我们终于从他那里探得答案。选项A demand要求。选项B provoke激发出,例如:Such tendentious statements are likely to provoke strong opposition.这种有倾向性的说法可能激发强烈的反对。选项C extract摘取、选取,例如:She extracted passages for the students to translate.她选了些短文让学生们翻译。选项D deny否认。elicit和provoke意思最接近,所以选B。
