   The tiny island nation has set aside 500, 000 square kilometres—80 percent—of its maritime【C2】______, for full protection. That’s the highest percentage of an【C3】______economic zone devoted to marine conservation by any country in the world.

   "Island【C5】______have been among the hardest hit by the threats facing the ocean," said President Tommy Remengesau Jr. in a statement.

H)indulge [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 O
解析 空格位于形容词maritime之后，故应填入名词。该句的前半部分提到了500，000square kilometres“50万平方公里”，因此空格处填入的词应与地理面积有关，据此可排除celebrities、spectacle、sponsor和stocks。按照常识分析，communities“社区”与maritime“海上的，海事的”语义不搭，故答案为territory“领域，领地”。
