[D] young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies.題干問一二段的含義是什么。文章中對應(yīng)的邏輯關(guān)聯(lián)詞是under the age of forty, marvel at the fact, suitable, dailies,即young readers對應(yīng)的邏輯關(guān)聯(lián)詞為under the age of forty,marvel對應(yīng)的邏輯關(guān)聯(lián)詞為doubt,suitable對應(yīng)的邏輯關(guān)聯(lián)詞為suitability。
