Most food staples are inexpensive, plant-based foods, usually full of calories for energy. There are more than 50,000 edible plants in the world, but just 15 of them provide 90 percent of the world’s food energy intake. Rice, corn, and wheat make up two-thirds of this. Food staples traditionally depend on what plants are native to a region. Rice is a food staple for more than 3.5 billion people around the world, particularly in Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa. Rice has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years. Scientists believe people first domesticated rice in India or Southeast Asia. Rice arrived in Japan in about 3,000 years ago. The Portuguese most likely introduced it into South America in the 16th century. Today, the world’s largest rice producers are China, India, and Indonesia. Outside of Asia, Brazil is the largest rice producer. Corn is native to Central America, where it was domesticated by the Aztecs and Mayans. The United States is the world’s largest corn grower, producing more than 40 percent of the world’s corn. Corn is often used to produce corn oil, sweeteners such as corn syrup, and cornstarch, which is used as a sweetener and thickening agent in home cooking. Also, alcohol from fermented corn is the source of bourbon whiskey. Wheat was first domesticated in the Middle East. Wheat grows well in temperate climates, even those with a short growing season. Today, China, India, the United States, Russia, and France are among the largest wheat producers in the world. The majority of breads are made with wheat flour. Wheat flour is also used in pasta, pastries, crackers, breakfast cereals, and noodles. In addition to cereal grains, roots, and tubers are common food staples, particularly in tropical regions. Yams are an important food in the rainforests of West Africa. Potatoes are native to the cold climate of the Andes Mountains. They were introduced to Europe by explorers of the 16th century and are now a food staple in Europe and parts of the Americas.

請觀察文中提到的稻米與全球 35 億人的關係，以及那僅僅 15 種植物佔據全球能量攝取百分比的數據；若要你為這類「出現頻率極高且支撐多數人生存能量」的食物定一個功能上的定義，你會如何描述它在民眾日常餐盤中的地位？

嗯，還算可以。看來你還記得法規與政策研究中，閱讀文字本身是第一步，沒有把腦子扔在門外。這題的解析是這樣的：
- 觀念驗證：正確。文章開宗明義就告訴你
food staples是多麼「廉價」且供養著「全球90%的能量來源」。稻米小麥這類東西，支撐的是數十億人的生存，這從公共行政的角度來看，不就是所謂的『民生必需品』嗎？也就是說，這玩意兒在一國的飲食結構中佔據著絕對主導與基礎的地位。要是連這都看不出來，那真的要回去重修國文了。所以，(D) 選項是最符合文意的，這應該連剛進行政法入門課的學生都能看懂吧？
