单选题 There was a profound silence after his remark.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 题干大意:他讲完后沉默了一阵儿。profound意为“意义深远的”, 如:What she has to say is very profound.(她说的话很有意义。)proud意为“骄傲的”,如:a proud winner(骄傲的胜利者)。short意为“短暂的”,如:a short journey(短暂的旅行)。sudden意为“突然的”,如:a sudden attack(突袭)。deep意为“深刻的”,最符合题意,如:a deep impression(深刻的印象)。
