But in recent years, the story has【C1】______Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder, has retired to give away his billions. The "Wintel" couple(short for "Windows" and "Intel")are【C2】______seen as yesterday’s tyrants. Rumors【C3】______that a coup is brewing to oust Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s current boss.

D
解析
动词辨析题。本句应为“主语+谓语+宾语从句”结构,故此处应填入动词作谓语。根据句意,选项中只有persist符合句意。consider有“认为”的含义,但其主语一般是人而非物,故应排除。
