单选题 In ______ , the whole tangled saga is a classic case of serious allegations falling through the cracks between federal, state and local jurisdictions and between state lines.

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 短语in retrospect的意思是“回顾过去”,如:It was, in retrospect, the happiest day of her life. (回想起来,那是她一生最幸福的日子。)其他三项“A项countenance面容,支持;C项gauge规格,测量;D项injection注射”都不正确。本题空格处是说回顾过去。因此B项为正确答案。
