单选题 Some people ______ in part the defeat of the revolution in France and Germany to the English diplomacy, do you agree?
A. contributed B. attributed C. distributed D. owned

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] B项“attributed(sth.to)把……归因于”符合题意,如:David attributed his company's success to the unity of all the staff and their persevering hard work. (大卫说他们公司之所以获得成功是由于全体员工的团结和坚持不懈努力工作的结果。)其他三项“A项contributed贡献,捐赠;sb.contribute sth.to某人捐献某物给……;sth.contribute to某物对……有贡献,增加了……;C项distributed分布,分发,分配;D项owned拥有,承认”都不正确。本题的意思是一些人将法国和德国革命失败的部分原因归因于英国的外交。因此B项为正确答案。
