The few female physicians practicing at the end of the 19th century might be______considered because they constituted a very small percentage of all physicians.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析:placebos“安慰剂,宽心话”;remedies“治疗法,补救办法”;anomalies“异常事物,反常现象”;extremists“极端主义者,偏激的人”。根据题干可推断,因为女性医师所占比例小,所以此处应填含有“异常,不同寻常”之意的词,故选C。
