单选题
It was ______ to continue the negotiation since both sides lack the sincerity. A. fertile B. futile C. fugitive D. fussy
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 四个选项的意思分别是：fertile多产的，富饶的；futile无效的，无意义的；fugitive逃亡的，转瞬的；fussy大惊小怪的。句意是，既然双方都缺乏诚意，再谈下去也毫无意义。所以正确答案是B选项，如：Their efforts to revive him were futile．(他们对他抢救无效。)
