In some countries, the policy applies only to areas under direct state control, such as public-works contracts or【C2】________ to public universities. In others, private firms are also obliged to take account of the race of their employees, contractors and even owners. But the effects are strikingly similar around the world.
Many of these policies were put in place with the best of intentions: to【C3】________ for past injustices and purify their legacy. No one can deny that, for example, blacks in America have suffered awful wrongs, and continue to suffer【C4】________.

答案
O
