恭喜你準確鎖定了正確答案！這題你能答對，代表你對英文虛主詞（Dummy Subject）句型與數據呈現的慣用語法有著極佳的敏銳度。
數據呈現的精準選詞
在探討全球公共衛生議題時，針對「無法確切統計、但有研究數據支撐」的數字，我們最常使用 It is estimated that...（據估計...）來引導後續的子句。這段文字提到的「全球有超過八億人缺乏安全飲用水」正是一個大數據估算值，使用 estimated 不僅語意最契合，也符合學術報導的嚴謹性。相較之下，(A) conducted（執行/實施）多接研究或調查；(B) included（包含）語意不完整；(D) secluded（隱蔽的/與世隔絕的）則完全偏離語境。
