问题    Robert Menzies was conservative Prime Minister of Australia from 1939 to 1941 and again from 1949 until his retirement in 1966. Menzies provoked a variety of responses during his political career. Views Ⅰ to Ⅳ below summarize some of those responses.
   View Ⅰ The supreme twentieth-century statesman and politician, presiding with ease over the nation, and representing Australia abroad with dignity and aplomb.
   View Ⅱ Authoritarian despite his professed liberal beliefs, he was the enemy of the workers, who stayed in office for seventeen years through a combination of unscrupulous opportunism, remarkable good luck, and the gullibility of the Australian people.    View Ⅲ Menzies imposed the values of a bygone age on Australia, with his devotion to Britain and the British monarchy, and his cautious conservatism. He suppressed a new, creative, energetic generation by cultivating smugness, fear and indifference in the Australia of the 50s and 60s.
   View Ⅳ Downright democratic, something new and different but with an easy-going manner and aggressive independence. [br] "Aggressive independence" (View Ⅳ) is most at odds with the suggestion of Menzies’ ______.
选项 A、easy authority (View Ⅰ)
B、hypocrisy (View Ⅱ)
C、political cunning (View Ⅱ)
D、devotion to Britain (View Ⅲ)
答案 D
解析 第四种观点中的aggressive independence(敢作敢为，保持独立人格)与第三种观点中的devotion to Britain(忠于英国)相矛盾。
