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...or (24[A]) 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. (25[D])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 细节题。新闻中说到了十亿元可以买到的东西，最后说，有了这么多钱，你也可以使一家脆弱的银行破产(bankrupt a vulnerable bank)，而这正是Nicholas Leeson所为。这说明选项A是正确的。
