选项 A、delicate
B、complicated
C、sensitive
D、subtle
答案 D
解析 考查上下文形容词词义辨析。本题需要填入修饰health hazards的词。delicate“精巧的；脆弱的；棘手的”；complicated“复杂的，难解的”；sensitive“敏感的”；subtle“微妙的，难以觉察的”。结合下文的given much less attention可推断此处health hazards如果是棘手的或复杂的，不能构成受关注少的理由。可排除具有一定干扰性的A和B；此空应该表示health hazards难以察觉，才导致人们给予很少的关注，故subtle最符合文意，选D。
