The success of a government should be ________ in terms of the health and happiness of the people as well as the development of economy
A. observed B. established C. benefited D. measured
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：一个政府的成功应该从人民的健康和幸福以及经济的发展来衡量。A. observed观察；B. established建立；C. benefited有益于；D. measured测量、衡量。根据the health and happiness of the people as well as the development of economy可知，这些是衡量政府好坏的标准，所以我们用measure(衡量)来满足句意。故此题选D。
