Question

choose the word that best completes the sentence. the sad events of 1968 caused strong emotions, but the uplifting events were equally. frustrating stirring maintained ignored

Explanation:

• “frustrating”意为“令人沮丧的”，与“uplifting（令人振奋的）”情感色彩不符。
• “stirring”有“激动人心的；令人兴奋的”意思，与“uplifting”在情感表达上相近，能体现积极情感且与前文“strong emotions”逻辑相符。
• “maintained”是“maintain（维持；保持）”的过去分词形式，在此处语义不通。
• “ignored”是“ignore（忽视；忽略）”的过去分词形式，不符合句子语境。

Answer:

B. stirring
