(B) frivolous . . greedy

2013年8月30日SAT考试官方每日一题答案:B
解析:For the company spokesman to describe the lawsuits as “bogus claims” implies that the company views these lawsuits as “frivolous,” or as having no sound basis. Moreover, as is indicated by the phrase “hoping to strike it rich,” the spokesman would likely want to characterize the claimants of these suits as “greedy,” or motivated by a selfish desire for wealth, rather than as people seeking fairness or justice.
