问题 French Fries and the Economy
The economic crisis spread as currencies in other Southeast Asian nations began to drop．The Indonesian rupiah began to fall in December，and eventually would lose more than 80 percent of its dollar value．Meanwhile，about $50 million dollars per day were transferred out of Indonesia to the relative safety of Singapore’s banks．
The French fry is but one indicator of economic prosperity．The more a county develops economically，the more French flies people consume．The reverse is also true；when economies falter，French flies and fast-foods become a luxury that fewer can afford．In Indonesia，the currency crisis saw the price of a Big Mac triple．Because restaurants paid for imported wholesale flies in dollars，their costs soared．Customers could not meet price increases，and began to consume rice and egg dishes that McDonald’s added to their Indonesia menus．But McDonald’s sales plunged．Theirs and other US stores became targets for critics of globalization．One third of the restaurants that purchased French fries from Simplot were burned．including about 10 McDonald’s．Anti-foreign and anti-Chinese riots to follow took 500 lives．
In view of the Indonesian crisis．the Hutterites’potatoes were diverted to Singapore’s more stable economy．On an early evening there Ernest Enver-a descendant of Russian Jews—met his wife Becky and three children in one of Singapore’s McDonald’s．Becky is of Chinese heritage，and the family is Roman Catholic．They ordered up servings of fries that took only seven minutes to reach crispy brown perfection．
请回答下列问题。
According to paragraph one，why were large amounts of money transferred out of Indonesia everyday?

选项 A、Because the value of rupiah was declining．
B、Because many people in Indonesia were losing jobs due to the economic crisis．
C、Because Indonesians could not afford food any longer．
D、Because the Singaporean Banks were much safer．

答案A

解析细节题。题干：根据第一段，为什么大量的资金从印度尼西亚流出?根据第一段中“The Indonesian rupiah began to fall in December，and eventually would lose more than 80 percent of its dollar value．Meanwhile，about $50 million dollars per day were transferred out of Indonesia to the relative safety of Singapore’s banks．”可以得知，印度尼西亚货币卢比从12月份开始贬值，贬值幅度高达80％，与此同时，大量美元转移到相对安全的新加坡银行。由此可知，大量货币从印尼转出，主要还是因为卢比一直在贬值，为了规避风险所以资金流出。
