If we want to help some of most【C2】______ group in society, then encouraging deeper private sector【C3】______ is likely to be the best way forward.

选项 A、alternative
B、option
C、substitute
D、preference

答案 A

解析语义衔接题。本句是过渡句，在讲述政府学校的问题后，作者反问是否还有其他选择，进而过渡到本段，主要说明私立学校的好处。这样，选择A alternative“可供选择的办法，事物”就最符合文意。B option，选择行为，选择权(与of连用)以及C substitute，代用品，代替者，替代品(与for连用)，在语法上不正确；D preference，偏爱，在句意上不合适。
