We demand that US provide us proof that the Haqqani network is based in tribal areas, so that we can ______ our common enemy.
 
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】 这些动词均含“消灭”之意,以词根ex-,er-,el-开头。eliminate“消灭;消除;淘汰;击败”;eradicate“根除;清除,扑灭;根绝”,往往强调遇到抵抗或者阻碍;exterminate“毁坏;灭绝;根除”;extirpate“消灭,根除,毁灭”。选项中能与enemy搭配的动词只有eliminate,故答案为A。
