It was her view that the country’s problems had been ______ by foreign technocrats, so that to ask for suchassistance would be counterproductive
(A) ameliorated
(B) ascertained
(C) diagnosed
(D) exacerbated
(E) overlooked
(F) worsened
正确答案:DF
解析：
1.关键字：“so that”结构
2.空格中应该填入一个动词过去分词表示foreign technocrats对于这个国家问题所做的动作，而因为有so that存在，前后两个半句意思一致。而后半句中“such assistance”与前半句的“foreign technocrats”实际上是指的同一种东西，因而对于“such assistance”的描述与前半句中对于“foreign technocrats”的描述应当一致，故在空格中填入与“counterproductive”同义的词语。
3.词语解释
[1].(A) ameliorated：(改善)make better or moretolerable
[2].(B) ascertained：(确定)to make certain, exact, orprecise
[3].(C) diagnosed：(诊断)to recognize (as a disease)by signs and symptoms
[4].(D) exacerbated：(加剧恶化)to make more violent, bitter, or severe
[5].(E) overlooked：(忽视)to look past : MISS
[6].(F) worsened：(恶化)to make worse
