单选题 In her new position as dean of the university, Dr. Morganti will ______ full responsibility for academic affairs and curricular development.
A. resume
B. presume
C. consume
D. assume

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】Assume responsibility意思为“承担……责任”。选项(A)resume指继续从事某事，而不是开始新的事情，所以不符合“In her new position.,.(在她的新职位上……)”这一前提。选项(B)presume意思为“假设”。选项(C)consume意思为“消耗”。
