单选题
Admiral Cervera knew he was being ordered to certain destruction but felt compelled to obey. He chose the morning of July 3 for a
gallant
escape attempt.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析：本题中，gallant的意思是“英勇的，华丽的”。A项的daring“大胆的，勇敢的”符合题意，如：He was awarded a medal forhis daring deeds．(他因勇敢的行为而获得勋章。)其他三项futile“无用的”，critical“批评的”，fruitful“富有成效”都不正确。
