思路引導 VIP
當作者在文章中提到一個非常龐大、難以精確點出每個人頭的數字（如全球八億人）時，作者是在表達一個「絕對精確的實測值」，還是一個「根據現有資訊推算出來的數值」？在英文中，哪一個動詞最常用來形容這種『根據數據所做出的專業推估』呢？

恭喜你精準掌握了英文新聞與學術寫作中的常見句型！這題你的判斷非常正確，關鍵在於後方接續的數據「超過 8 億人（more than 800 million people）」。
數據呈現的固定搭配
在探討全球議題或呈現統計資料時，作者通常無法取得絕對精確的普查數字，因此會使用 It’s estimated that...（據估計⋯⋯） 這個被動結構來帶出推估值。選項 (C) estimated 完美符合語境，表達根據現有資料所做出的合理估計。其他選項如 (A) conducted（進行/實施）通常接在研究或調查之後；(B) included（包括）強調包含關係；(D) secluded（隔絕的/僻靜的）則多用於形容地理環境，皆與文意不合。
