单选题 Advancement in the army is often given to the person who ______.

A、 calls attention to himself
B、 performs valiantly on the battlefield
C、 is obsequious
D、 is a civil coward

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】第二句说Captain Sentry不善于把才能展现出来，例如让别人注意到他。选项A的表述不全面，也太表面化。这位将军认为在部队里奉承阿谀变成了人的优点，而Captain Sentry is not something of a courtier as well as a soldier．因此此题应选C。
