单选题 Furthermore, if I were to leave him, he would ______, for he cannot endure to be separated from me for more than one hour.
A. prevail B. preside C. perish D. persecute

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 本题空格处是说如果我离开他，他将活不下去。C项perish“毁坏，使麻木”符合题意，如：The city perished in an earthquake．这城市在一次地震中毁火。其他三项prevail“流行，盛行，获胜，成功”：preside“主持”：persecute“迫害”都不正确。
