B.awarded

C.handed

D.submitted

答案

参考答案:C

解析:

[考点] 词汇辨析

空格处填入动词的被动形式,该动作的实际发出者是a press aide,直接宾语是a copy of a press release,间接宾语是Senator Joseph Montoya,含义为“一份新闻稿被新闻助理……给参议员”。只有C选项hand“交给,递给”符合语意。

[干扰项分析] 由于新闻助理与参议员没有直接的上下级关系,award、submit分别表示上对下和下对上的动作,所以B、D选项不正确。又由于文章没有分发新闻稿的语境,所以A选项distribute“分发,分配”也不能用。
