单选题 Michelangelo was the greatest sculptor of the sixteenth century. We admire the products of his genius but we less frequently pause to consider the {{U}}magnitude{{/U}} of the tasks he undertook, the problems he encountered, and even failures he may have suffered.

A. huge size of
B. large amount of
C. magnificence
D. hardships

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】magnitude量，大小(通常指大的)，英文释义为(usually large)size，因此A与之匹配。large amount of大量的，用来修饰不可数名词，但文中的“tasks”是复数，不能选。magnificence雄伟，壮观。hardships困难，苦难。
