思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後方提到的「超過八億人（more than 800 million people）」這個資訊。當作者想要引述一個涉及全球範圍、且難以精確統計到個位數的大型數字時，在邏輯上通常會使用哪一種動作或概念來呈現這個「大約」的數值呢？

數據表達的慣用語
這題的核心考點在於引出統計數據的正式表達法。句首的虛主詞 It 引導出後方的 that 子句，描述全球超過八億人缺乏安全飲用水的情況。在正式報導或學術論文中，當我們要表達一個經過推算但非絕對精確的數值時，使用 estimated（估計） 作為分詞補語是最標準的用法，意即「據估計……」。選項 (A) conducted（執行/實施）通常接調查或實驗，(B) included（包括）在語法結構上無法直接以此句型銜接數據，而 (D) secluded（隱蔽的/與世隔絕的）多用於形容地點，與語意完全無關。
