D. renegade: allegiance
E. dramatist: writing
手忙脚乱类似的成语这道题有一定难度，关键是AB之间究竟选谁。下面的网友的解答很好（呵呵，我终于说了别 人的好话），我只补充一句。Pedant: learning。前者不仅是在乎后者，而且是在乎后者的琐碎之处。一个讲究打扮的人显然对穿着本身也有这样的 问题。
一下是网友的解释：
pedant: one who is unimaginative or who unduly emphasizes minutiae in the prentation or u of knowledge; a person who pays more attention to formal rules and book learning than they merit
charlatan: one ** usually showy pretens to knowledge or ability;a flamboyant deceiver; one who attracts customers with tricks or jokes
dandy:
a man who gives exaggerated attention to personal appearance；a man who is much concerned with his dress and appearance, 选B
从webster上可以看出答案，如果仍不满意，那么还可以 从另一本字典上再证实，就是牛津。
下面是牛津上的解释：
pedant : person who attaches too much importance to detail or to rules, esp when learning or teaching
dandy : man who cares too much about the smartness of his clothes and his appearance charlatan : person who fally
claims to have special knowledge or skill, esp in medicine
这个题目的对应就是前者对 后者非常看重（attaches too much importance to,形容石榴
cares too much about），并且达到了贬义的程度。
charlatan的意思就是骗子医生，charlatan的心理显然不应该是非常的注重trickery（无论从那本字典上都不能得到这样的暗示， 所以如果我们觉得charlatan就是过分注重trickery的，那只能归于我们的发散），charlatan只有一个特点就是骗.
