The selection puts the mild-mannered Bernanke, a former professor, in the company of U. S. President Barack Obama, Pope John Paul II and Russian President Vladimir Putin, among other【C3】______world figures the magazine has picked in past years.
The Senate is considering Bernanke’s【C4】______to a second term to head the Fed—the U. S. central bank—and while he is expected to win【C5】______, criticism of the Fed among the public and members of Congress is at its highest in decades.

选项
答案
K
解析
名词短语world figures前缺少一个形容词。联系上下文可知,除伯南克外,美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马、教皇约翰·保罗二世以及俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京也都当选了《时代》年度人物。众所周知,这些人在世界上都是很优秀、很杰出的,故prominent“杰出的”为本题答案。cute通常指“聪明的,伶俐的”,但不能全面地表达这些人物的特点,故排除。
