| Blank |
|---|
| (A) impugned |
| (B) subdued |
| (C) excused |
| (D) extolled |
| (E) sustained |
官方解說：
The sentence concerns a government that has consistently failed to "apply the principle of the self-determination of peoples" and the way in which certain "critics" have reacted to that government. The blank must be filled by the answer choice that best describes these critics' opinions about the government. Since the critics support self-determination, they would naturally condemn such a government, making "impugned" the best answer choice.
Thus the correct answer is impugned.
