单选题
Those who want guns—A
whether for
target shooting, hunting or potting rattlesnakes(get a hoe)— B
should be subjected to
the same restrictions placed on gun owners in England, a nation C
in which
liberty has survived nicely without D
an arm populace
.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】解析：an arm populace一an armed populace。句意：那些想持有枪支的人——不管是为了射击、打猎还是寻找响尾蛇(寻觅响尾蛇可以用锄头)——他们都应该同样受到英国对于枪支拥有者的条例限制。在英国，平民不带武器，自由传统得到了很好的延续。这里应该用形容词形式的armed修饰populace。
