　　从CATTI教材练习题记词汇

　　The announcement will ( ) the rumors of a takeover that have plagued the company for the past 18 months.

　　A. append

　　B. scotch

　　C. exhort

　　D. exhale

　　解题思路：

　　此句主干：The announcement will...of a takeover（of a takeover 作 rumors 的后置定语）

　　定语从句that have plagued the company for the past 18 months，从句先行词为rumors，不是a takeover（注意定从的have）

　　定语从句中核心动词plague（to cause pain or trouble to sb/sth over a period of time困扰；折磨）。因此，对该公司不利的谣言“制止”，因此，该空应与“制止”相关。

　　解析：
