参考答案及解析:
1.The correct answer is B

The phrase “is to forget” implies that the belief described in the first part of the sentence ismisguided or naïve. It makes sense to argue that the assumption that reforms can“eradicate,” or eliminate, all societal evils is overly idealistic because evil is “protean,” orcapable of taking on a new “shape.”
2.The correct answer is A
