of the Tarahumara indigenous community in the Sierra Madre, in the north.

and center, has suffered total loss. The drought, that has been compounded 7.______
by freezing temperatures, has already pushed up the cost of some produce,
including corn and beans. It might cause inflation to rise later this year.

选项
答案
speeding——slowing
解析
本题为逻辑错误。根据句子的意思,有些重灾区地处偏僻,很难到达,肯定减缓了救援的进度,而非加快,故用slowing更符合原文。
