单选题 The fire has caused great losses, but the factory tried to __________ the consequences by saying that the damage was not as serious as reported．

A．decrease
B．subtract
C．minimize

考查动词辨析。decrease指数量上的“减少”，subtract为数学上的“减”，均不能consequence(后果)这种
抽象名词搭配；degrade,意为“降级；使退化”，与句意不符；minimize有“将……最小化，减到最低”之意，符合句意。
