多选题 The ______ that met the novella upon publication was so ______ its modest achievement that even the author wondered whether the response was truly deserved.

A、 incredulity
B、 indifference
C、 acclamation
D、 disproportionate to
E、 commensurate with
F、 essential of

【正确答案】 C、D

【答案解析】[解析] ● 第一空与modest(不太高的)对应，第二空充当它们之间的逻辑关联。
● 两空联动，若第二空表示逻辑同义，则第一空与modest同义重复；反之，则第一空与modest反义重复。
● incredulity不轻信，indifference冷漠，acclamation赞扬；disproportionate to与……不相称，commensurate with与……相称，essential of……的本质。答案选CD。
