Đáp án D
“We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night.” (Chúng ta biết được về những vật lộng lẫy của cung điện và lâu đài, nhưng quên rằng đó chắc hẳn là những nơi tối tăm và ảm đạm vào ban đêm.)
Phía sau từ “but” có những từ như “gloomy, murky” (tối tăm, ảm đảm) nên phía trước phải có nghĩa trái ngược.
Vậy: splendors = the beautiful and impressive features: vật rực rỡ, lộng lẫy
