【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】考动宾搭配。所选动词词组应该能和possibilities搭配。strike out是“精力充沛地开始”；leave out是“忽略，遗漏，不考虑”；rule out是“不考虑；排除出去”，如：The option of starting over has been ruled out．重新开始这种选择已被排除考虑。count out是“不包括”，如：If it's going to be a crowdy party, count me out．(如果那是一个吵闹的聚会，别把我算在内。)一般用rule out来搭配possibilities。句子大意为：秋季选举的可能性不会被排除在外。
