(D) exacerbated
(E) trivialized
分析：the grin （露齒而笑，表達(dá)認(rèn)同、了解），與后面的denial（拒絕）剛好構(gòu)成了動(dòng)作上的相反，選動(dòng)作反義的的詞，動(dòng)作上反義的詞常見(jiàn)有四大類(lèi)：1.掩蓋類(lèi) mask belie repress 2.代替類(lèi) substitute/replace/supplant/surrogate 3.變化類(lèi):from to / vary/change/shift 4.消除、調(diào)整類(lèi) undermine mediate obviate reconcile
