Small doses of antibiotics (抗生素)-too small to kill bacteria—are【C1】______to factory farm animals as part of their【C2】______diet to promote growth and cancel the risks of overcrowding.

Last week, the Natural Resources Defense Council, joined by other advocacy groups, sued the Food and Drug Administration to【C4】______it to end the use of penicillin (盘尼西林)and tetracycline (四环素)not for curing diseases in farm animals.

For years, the F. D. A. has had the scientific studies and the【C6】______to ban these drugs. But it has always bowed to【C7】______from the farm lobbies, despite the well-founded【C8】______of groups like the American Medical Association and the World Health Organization, which support an antibiotic ban.
It is time for the F. D. A. to stop corporate factory farms from wasting【C9】______drugs just to promote growth among animals confined in conditions that inherently create the risk of disease. The F.

选项
答案
O
解析
该空格位于名词drugs之前,据此推断应填入形容词。由空格前的wasting以及上下文可知,浪费的是有价值的药品,故选择valuable“有价值的”。
