題目解析

All the evidence pointed to his negligence, but he denied any_______. He didn’t think he was responsible for the accident.

（所有證據都指出他的疏忽，但他否認任何______。他認為自己不該為這場事故負責。）

後句的關鍵是：

He didn’t think he was responsible for the accident.
（他認為自己不需負責。）

因此空格應填入「責任、罪責」。

選項分析

(A) culpability ✔

• 意思：罪責、應負責任
• 例：The company admitted its culpability in the disaster.
  （公司承認自己對這場災難負有責任。）

(B) abatement

• 意思：減少、減輕
• 不符合語意。

(C) enmity

• 意思：敵意、仇恨
• 與事故責任無關。

(D) concord

• 意思：和諧、一致
• 不符合文意。

句型補充

• deny responsibility（否認責任）
• deny guilt（否認罪行）
• deny culpability（否認罪責）

因此：

All the evidence pointed to his negligence, but he denied any culpability.

✅ 答案： (A) culpability。
