In early September, Trinidad’s state-owned sugar company made all of its 9,200 employees redundant. Though most are Indo-Trinidadians and supporters of the island’s truculent opposition party, there were no protests. The workers got redundancy pay totaling 115 million dollars, the offer of retraining, and the chance to continue growing cane as independent farmers in plots on the company’s 31,000 hectares of farmland.
Trinidad, booming on oil and gas, has plenty of new jobs. Jamaica’s stagnant economy is another story. The government privatized its sugar factories in 1994, but agreed to take them back four years later. Hit by floods and droughts, this year’s sugar crop was a disaster. A shutdown might be greeted with riots by the 7,000 sugar workers and 8,000 cane farmers of the country. Barbados, prosperous and stable, has a different problem. Its neat cane fields are far more attractive to tourists than the eroded scrubland of Antigua, which stopped growing sugar 30 years ago.
选项
A、They held protests against the government on the street.
B、They became independent cane farmers.
C、They were compensated with a total of 115 million dollars.
D、They were given the chance of retraining for new job careers.
答案
A
解析
原文第一段谈到糖产业衰退给Trinidad带来影响,使该国9,200雇员失业时说“...there were no protests”,由此可见,选项a的内容与原文不相符,因此该项是正确答案。
