单选题 What do we learn from the sentence "it is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish in totalitarian regimes?"

A、 It can reveal the truth of political events with satire.
B、 It can arouse people to riot.
C、 It shows that tragedy and comedy are related.
D、 It can make people laugh.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】推理判断题。这句话的前面是举出“小人国”为例，说明在集权国家一切对当权者的讽刺完全是被禁止的。"We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver's Travels. ...In is no wonder that in totalitarian regimes any satire against the establishment is wholly banned."由此推断，讽刺可以揭示政治事件的真相。
