(A) an incredible ... proper procedure
(B) a negligent ... sworn testimony
(C) a judicial ... spectacular denouements

(E) an outrageous ... erudite citations
〖解答〗
从语法结构来看，本题由一完整句加一形容词短语构成，该形容词短语作补充说明，表示一伴随的状况。尽管不知道代入两处空格的词汇的确切含义是什么，但按短语结构的解法(参见方法之十)，可判断出二者应是同义词，唯有(D)项中theatrical和histrionics可形成同义词。
