A fist fight followed, with much shouting and（）, until the ragged man succeeded in driving up to the door.
A、disputing
B、squabbling
C、discussing
D、quarrelling
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：本题考查名词辨析。dispute：侧重对分歧进行激烈的争论或争辩，带一定感情色彩，常隐含“各执己见”或“争论不休”意味。squabble：(为小事)争论，争吵，发生口角；discuss：指就某一或某些问题表明观点、看法等，以便统一认识，解决问题。quarrel：指两口头上的争论。and前面是名词“shouting”，所以B选项“争吵”最符合句意。句意：接着是一场打架，伴随着大声喊叫和争吵，直到那个衣衫褴褛的人成功地开车走到门口。
