Middle English retained much few

Middle English retained much fewer inflections. If we say that Old English was a language of full endings, Middle English was one of ( ) endings.
【正确答案】：LEVELED
【题目解析】：本题考查中古英语的特点。中古英语的内部屈折形式减少了，比如标志着名词，形容词的数、格、性的词尾形式已经不明显了。如果说古英语尽是词尾的话，那么中古英语的词尾已经简化了。leveled endings：简化的词尾。
