单选题 The very biggest and most murderous wars during the industrial age were intra industrial-wars that______Second Wave nations like Germany and Britain against one another.
A. pitted B. drove C. kept D. embarked

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 本句空格处指的是产业内部战争促使第二次工业革命浪潮兴起的国家，像德国和英国之间相互竞争。pitted意为“使相斗，对立，竞争”，后常跟against，如：pit one person against another(使一人与另一人相斗)。其他三项“drive驱动，促使；keep 保持；embark上船，上飞机，装载，从事”都不符合句意。
