His familiarity with otherworldly creatures such as demons was poor indeed, but he realized that the demon might very well take ______ at a priest bursting in, waving a crucifix in its face.
 
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】 这组词都有“气恼；生气”之意。offence与动词take构成一个固定搭配，take offence at意为“(对)……生气；(因)……见怪”，符合题意。其余名词都可与动词feel连用，“与某人气恼”用with，“因某事气恼”用at，只是意思稍有不同：feel resentment at表示积压已久的气恼；feel irritation at表示极度的、一触即发的恼怒；feel annoyance at表示一种失去忍耐的气恼。
