问题      We have long ceased to live in a world where education was the prerogative of the few and the interchange of knowledge and ideas was limited to handful of learned men. The demand for education as a right of mankind is accepted.
     In many countries the challenge implicit in this demand has to be met largely unaided: such countries have to use their own resources to build the schools and train the teachers they need. But throughout the world there are other countries which, by their association with the Commonwealth, have unique opportunities for helping each other. They range from India to the tiny Pacific island of Pitcarin inhabited by little over 100 people.
     Britain’s part in developing education in countries of the Commonwealth and her dependencies goes back over three hundred years. The first colleges set up in the mainland colonies of North America which were to become the United States give tuition modeled on the arts courses at Oxford and Cambridge. British institutions set the early educational pattern in parts of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In the nineteenth century Britain took a direct interest in developing state-aided education in India, and began financially to help the missionaries pioneering education in the colonies and to set up a few schools where there were no others.
The tiny Pacific island of Pitcarin is not unaided in her field of education because ________.
选项 A、she is member of the Commonwealth
B、she has a population of just 100-odd people
C、she gets help from India
D、she has properly built schools
答案A
解析 根据原文第二段“But throughout the world there are other countries which by their associa-tion with the Commonwealth，have unique opportunities for helping each other(但世界上有另外一些国家，他们因与英联邦的联系而享有独特的相互支援的机会)。”之后文中又提到了太平洋小岛国，由此可知 A为正确选项。
