单选题 There was a quick turnover of staff in the department as the manager treated his employees with ______ contempt.

A. utter
B. sole
C. intimate
D. corresponding

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 本题空格处是说经理以完全蔑视的态度来对待他的员工。A项“utter全然的，绝对的”符合题意，如：What he is doing is utter stupidity!(他正在做的是完全愚蠢的事)。其他三项“sole单独的，唯一的”，“intimate亲密的，隐私的”，“corresponding相应的，通讯的”都不正确。
