问题单项选择题

He had wanted a 25% raise in pay, but after talking to his boss, he decided that a 5% raise would have to

A．suffice

B．satisfy

C．gratify

D．delight

答案

参考答案：A

解析：本题意为“他本想得到25%的工资涨幅，但在同老板谈话后，他认为他不得不满足于5%的涨幅”。suffice的意思是“使满足，表示带有无奈情绪的满足”，如：Fifty dollars will suffice me. 50美元足够我用。satisfy的意思是“满足”，主语为人；gratify的意思是“使满足，表示超出预想的满足”；delight的意思是“(使)高兴，(使)欣喜”。四个选项中只有A项符合题意。
