[解析] 本题的四个选项为动词，其含义分别为：A．坚持，坚决认为。该动词后面不能跟人称代词作间接宾语。所以应首先排除。B．确认，通常也不用人称代词作间接宾语。C．使确信，向……保证，后面可跟人称代词作间接宾语。而且，词义也符合上下文的要求，为本题的正确答案。D．保证，后面也可跟人称代词作间接宾语，但后面不能同时跟that引导的宾语从句。所以D不合适。
7. The technician is ______ to almost all the tasks, who may even falls asleep on the job.
A.reluctant

正确答案：B
[解析] 该句的非限定定语从句中even falls asleep暗示前面讲的是“玩忽职守”，所以decreant符合全句的语境。
