选项 A、More
B、No
C、All
D、Most
答案 D
解析 语义衔接题。 About half of these disabilities are“developmental”与【C5】______other disabilities are con-sidered“adventitious”是介绍残疾的两种不同类型。前面说大约一半的残疾是遗传型的，那么后面应该是说其他残疾被认为是后天型，由外界因素引发。既然被归为一类，那么数目应该很多，由此可知，这里应该是说其他残疾的大多数，故答案为[D]Most“大部分的”。[C]All“所有的”表示的含义过于绝对，与前面提到的About half“大约一半”语境不符，故排除。
