It has been argued that politics as ___________,whatever its transcendental claims,has always been the systematic organization of common hatreds.
A.theory
B.an ideal
C.a practice
D.a contest
E.an enigma
是这个题目吧,最初我也选错了
后来发现practice有习惯的意思,a customary way of operation or behavior
而后面的whatever.正是表示这是一种习以为常的事情,故答案为C
