单项选择题
The promised wage increase is being held back while it is examined by the government to see if it is greater than the law allows.
A.dismissed
B.delayed
C.neglected
D.rejected
答案
参考答案:B
解析: B项的意思是“拖延,推迟”,该句表达的是政府有关加薪的承诺正在受到阻碍,也就是推迟了,与B项的意思相符合。A项“解雇”;C项“忽略,不管”;D项“拒绝”。
[译文] 一方面,加薪的承诺被推迟了,另一方面,政府正对这次工资的增长是否符合法律规定进行审查。
