问题 According to the news, Leeson
How do you blow 1 billion? With that much money, you could buy every jewel in Tiffany’s, collect a small fleet of 747s…[24A]or bankrupt a vulnerable bank. That’s what Nicholas Leeson apparently did. The 28-year-old trader for British investment house Barings PLC in Singapore staked more than 1 billion of the company’s money last winter on Japanese derivatives, and got tsunamied. For weeks he tried to recoup his mounting losses with double-or-nothing bets and doctored bookkeeping. He was arrested in Frankfurt on his way to London. Germany extradited him to Singapore last month, where he was sentenced to 6. 5 years in prison. [25D] Leeson is appealing.

选项 A、bankrupted a vulnerable bank.
B、was a British investor in Singapore.
C、worked as a teller in Singapore.
D、took exactly 1 billion from the bank last winter.

答案 A

解析 题目涉及Leeson做了什么事情.由…bankrupt a vulnerable bank后面一句That’s what Nichlas Leeson apparently did可知Nicholas Leeson bankrupted a vulnerable bank,故答案为[A]。
