Complete the following sentence with a (compound) word derived from the one(s) given in bracket.

Elizabeth listened to the speaker, but only out of ( ).(polite)


【正确答案】:POLITENESS
【题目解析】:

本题考查的是常用形容词的名词形式。

由out of(此处意为“出于...”)可知,空缺处应填名词,polite的名词形式是politeness意为“礼貌”,符合句意。

句意:伊丽莎白听了演讲者的话,但只是出于礼貌。
