請你觀察空格後面提到的「800 million people」這個資訊。在正式報導中，當我們要引出一個關於全球人口的大規模統計數據，而這個數字可能是透過模型運算或不完全統計得出的結果時，我們通常會用哪種概念的動詞來表示這個數字並非絕對精確、而是計算出來的概數呢？

同學好，這題你能準確選出 (C) 是非常扎實的判斷！這顯示你對於正式英文文章中的數據引述句型具備高度的靈敏度。在閱讀測驗或克漏字中，當句子開頭使用虛主詞 It，後方引導一個與統計數據（例如本題的 800 million people）相關的子句時，最標準且常見的表達方式就是 It is estimated that...（據估計……）。這是一個非常典型的科學或社會評論類文章用法。
語意邏輯與搭配詞應用
從語意層面來看，(A) conducted（進行/實施）通常搭配實驗或調查；(B) included（包括）在此處語法不通；(D) secluded（隔絕/隱蔽）則完全偏離主題。這道題目在國考中屬於中等偏易的鑑別點，它的難度切入點不在於單字本身的生僻度，而是在於考生是否能一眼看出「數據」與「估計」之間的邏輯關聯，並熟悉慣用的被動語態句型。能在短時間內秒殺這題，對於維持作答節奏非常有幫助。
