选项 A、Such as
B、For instance
C、As a result
D、In the end
答案 B
解析 空格处所在的句子给出了世界银行估算出的营养元素缺乏对南亚国家国内生产总值造成影响的数据。而上一句说如果一代孩子都得不到足够的营养，那么整个国家都将受到严重的影响。分析逻辑关系可知，空格处所在句是进一步用实例来证明前面所提出的观点。[A]Such as“例如．像这种的”表示举例。但是不放在句首．也不能用逗号隔开；[C]As a result“结果是”以及[D]In the end“最后，终于”，放在此处的逻辑关系不对，故排除；[B]For instance“例如”可放在句首，并且要用逗号隔开，符合题意。
