单选题 The truth is that he has just been fired.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查的是对近义名词的辨析。四个选项中,A选项situation的意思是“形势、局势”,如:It is not wise to buy a car in the present situation. 依照现在的形势,买车不是一个明智的选择。B选项condition的意思是“条件、情况”,如:The patient's condition is quite good. 患者的情况相当好。C选项error的意思是“错误、过失”。D选项fact的意思是“事实、实情、真相”,它与题目中的truth一样,可用the truth/fact is that+从句,表示“真实情况是…”,因此D选项符合题意。
