参考答案:

A

动词应用。题干中的descry意思为“看见，望见”。固定搭配describe sth as sth叫做，称做：He describes himself as a doctor．他自称医生。discard丢弃，抛弃：discard old beliefs抛弃旧信念。deserve应受，值得：These people deserve our help．这些人值得我们帮助。disconcert使惊惶，使仓皇失措，破坏：The young madam was disconcerted to discover that she was being watched．这位年青的太太发现有人在监视她，便惊惶失措。本题题干意思是“警句常被描述为简练、巧妙表达的机智该谐的思想。”根据题干意思，所以本题应选A。
