Triple-digit oil prices have【4】the economic and political map of the world,【5】some old notions of power. Oil-rich nations are enjoying historic gains and opportunities,【6】major importers — including China and India, home to a third of the world’s population —【7】rising economic and social costs.

选项
A、asking
B、requesting
C、calling
D、demanding
答案
C
解析
