问题 By providing people with information about their electricity use — down to every plugged-in device in a home or business — they can make choices that save money and ______efficiency and convenience.
选项 A、maximize
B、intensify
C、compress
D、facilitate
答案 A
解析    (1)句子结构。
   By providing…为方式状语，两个破折号之间为解释说明部分，主句的结构为主动宾(SVO)，其中主语为they, 谓语动词为can make，宾语为choices，that从句为定语从句，修饰choices。
   (2)选项词义。
   A．maximize vt．使……最大化；使(某事物)增至最大限度
   B．intensify vt.(使)增强(程度／力量)；(使)加剧(程度／力量)
   C．compress vt．使压缩(空间)；压紧；精简
   D．facilitate vt．帮助(行动／过程)；使促进；助长；使容易
   本句大意为“为人们提供用电方面的信息——小到家庭或企业的每一个电源插头的信息——就可以帮助人们做出节能省钱的选择，使用电效率和便利最大化”。从上下文来看，这是有关用电方面的信息，既然是为了save money，就要在efficiency and convenience方面做到最佳，因此从词义来看，只有选项A最符合句意。
