A、 a squalid
B、 a volatile
C、 a sordid
D、 a rudimentary
E、 a cataclysmic
F、 a catastrophic

【正确答案】 A、C

【答案解析】[解析] ● 冒号说明前后同义重复。
● 空格与filthy(脏的)或dilapidated(毁坏的)同义重复。
● squalid脏的，volatile多变的，sordid脏的，rudimentary根本的，cataclysmic多变的/灾难性的，catastrophic灾难性的。答案选AC。
● 注：这里volatile和cataclysmic是干扰项，同表示“多变的”；同时cataclysmic也有“灾难性的”意思，与catastrophic同义，构成干扰项。
