单选题
Although this theory was never rigidly disproved, the doctrine was generally abandoned ______the opposing view.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析:介词词组辨析。句意:尽管这一理论从来都没有在严格的意义上被反对过,但是教条通常被抛弃掉,而转向相反的观点。句中abandon和opposing提示空格处的词组应是对反对意见的支持。infavor of“赞同,支持”;in place of“代替”;instead of“代替,而不是……”;in terms of“在……方面”,由此可知,A符合题意。
