选项 A、containing
B、incorporating
C、comprising
D、including
答案 D
解析 语义衔接题。此处是说，教育被认为是打开机会大门的钥匙，也包括获得经济保障的机会。选项中的[A]、[C]和[D]都有“包含，包括”的含义，但用法不同。contain强调包容关系，所涉及的物体常常是其构成成分，也常用来指空间上的包含在内；include指一整体包含着各独立的部分，也指某东西包含另一东西的某一部分；comprise常构成“整体+be comprised of+部分”这一结构。结合语境，financial security只是获得的机会之一，并不是机会的构成成分，故答案为[D]including。[B]incorporating“合并”。
