Since neither side was ready to ______ what was necessary for peace, hostility was resumed in 1980.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题空格处是说双方都不准备让步。C项“concede让步”符合题意,如: After the First World War,Germany conceded its neighbours much valuable land.(第一次世界大战后,德国让与其邻国许多宝贵的领土。)其他三项“recede后退,撤销;precede在……前,先于;intercede仲裁,说情”都不正确。
