答案

literary ,literure肯定不对啊,意思上跟文学有关,一个是有精通文学,从事写作,文学的等等,后者literature是名词,文学的意思
题上对staff的要求是：能读懂时代周刊以及对艺术和哲学感兴趣,可见是不仅是智力上而且是一种感悟能力的要求
再看intelligent usually implies the ability to cope with demands arising from novel situations and new problems and to use the power of reasoning and inference effectively:
Intelligent 通常指应付新情况和新问题所需的能力和有效地使用推理和推断力的能力
而intellectural出来基本意思有智力的外,它还有理解力的,趋于对美学哲学有抽象思维能力的
so D
