单项选择题
Admiral Cervera knew he was being ordered to certain destruction but felt compelled to obey. He chose the morning of July 3 for a gallant escape attempt.
A. daring
B. futile
C. critical
D. fruitful
答案
参考答案：A
解析： 本题中，gallant的意思是“英勇的，华丽的”。A项的“daring大胆的；勇敢的”符合题意，如：He was awarded a medal for his daring deeds.(他因勇敢的行为而获得奖牌。)其他三项“futile无用的；critical批评的；fruitful富有成效”都不正确。
