单选题
The man who ______ taxes in the area was charged with bribery by the police.
A. received
B. collected
C. gathered
D. accumulated
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] receive意为“收到”,不符合句意;collect和gather都有“收集”之意,前者更强调“有计划、有选择地进行收集”,如collect clothes for the fashion show,gather则不含有挑选性及目的性,如gather the scattered papers;accumulate表示“堆积,积聚”,不符合旬意。
