参考解析

解析:考查动词辨析。diminish 表示“减少,(使)减弱”,demonstrate表示“证明,证实”,declare 表示“公布,宣布”,demolish表示“拆毁,拆除(建筑物);推翻,驳倒(观点或理论);轻易击败”。此处所填动词是和后面的possible protests of the opposition相对应的,所以应该是demolish。故本题选D。句意:一个作家如果想要说服他的读者信服他的观点,他必须运用他的论点来维护他的观点,并驳倒反对派可能提出的异议。

根据以下材料,回答People do not analyze every problem theymeet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had asimilar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.
