'The cause of the explosion is still under investigation,' said an officer with th Tongren police,but refused to speculate as to the cause.

The word 'speculate' in the last paragraph probably means '_______'
A.tell B.guess C.discuss D.talk
答案说:speculate的意思是猜测,所以选D。为什么是猜测所以就选D呢?不应该是B吗?
1楼2楼的,那用talk不是更不对了吗?

speculate是推断的意思,经过思考得出的判断,所以用talk好于guess

speculate有推测的意思,不单纯是猜测,guess就是单纯的猜,比如猜谜,猜数,猜人

speculate这里是猜测的意思
但是要是你用了guess 就是 去臆断这个意思了
