[A]because[B]made[C]instead[D]learnt
正确答案:C本题考查固定短语。空格处填入的词与介词of搭配,连接两个并列的名词Valentine和Lupercus。[A]和[C]与of构成介词短语:becauseof意为“因为”,后面一般接原因,如:Wewinthegamebecauseofhisparticipation.(由于他的参与,我们赢了比赛。)insteadof意为“代替,而不是”,如:Igavehimadviceinsteadofmoney.(我给了他忠告,而不是钱。)[B]和[D]则构成了过去分词短语,(be)madeof意为“由...构成”,如:Breadischieflymadeofflour.(面包主要由面粉做成。)learnof意为“听到,获悉”,如:Iwassorrytolearnofyourillness.(听说你病了,我感到不安。)从语法和含义上符合要求的是[C]instead。
