參考答案【正確答案：D】
本題目為具體細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干的關(guān)鍵詞a magnifying glass和大寫字母Moritz定位到第四段第二句，目的就是最后一句。本句提到“to redirect those funds”，基金重新引導(dǎo)，本段首句也提及a huge problem from a public expenditure。正確答案D的guarantee safer spending是對(duì)這兩句的完全概括，討論公共基金更好的花費(fèi)問題。干擾項(xiàng)A提到fund，但未說raise more，添加無關(guān)內(nèi)容；選項(xiàng)B與原文剛好相反，不是avoid避免；選項(xiàng)C是對(duì)原文lower-hazard parts of the landscape的偷換概念。
