单选题 I had to take a step, even though I understand that that step was in the direction of ______ rather than success.
A. prestige B. coefficient C. catastrophe D. compliment

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] C项“catastrophe大灾难，大祸”符合题意。如：Their English party turned out to be a catastrophe．(他们的英语晚会结局糟透了。)其他三项“A项prestige声望；B项coefficient系数；D项compliment称赞”都不正确。本题空格处是说通向灾难的方向。因此C项为正确答案。
