恭喜你精準掌握了這題的關鍵！在高考英文的閱讀測驗中，這類與「數據統計」相關的動詞用法是常見的命題重點。你能迅速辨識出正確選項，代表你對常見的英文句型結構有很好的直覺。
統計數據的引述用法
這題的核心在於判讀後方的內容：文章提到「全球有超過八億人缺乏安全飲用水」，這是一個基於研究產出的統計數值。在英文寫作中，當我們要表達「據估計……」或「預估有……」時，標準句型是 "It is estimated that..."。選項 (C) estimated 完美契合語境，用來客觀地陳述這個龐大的數據。其餘選項如 (A) conducted（進行/傳導）、(B) included（包括）或 (D) secluded（隱蔽的）在語意上都無法與後方的 that 子句形成合理的邏輯對應。
