问题 The word "offend" originally meant "to strike against", but now the word signifies "tocreate or excite anger". This is an example of__________.

选项 A.meaning shift B.widening of meaning C.narrowing of meaning D.loss of meaning

答案 B

解析考查语义变化。语义变化有多种：词义扩大(widening of meaning)、词义缩小(narrowingof meaning)和词义转移(meaning shift)。“offend”在最初的意思是“击打”，现在的意思是“冒犯，惹怒”，因此是词义的扩大。?
