选项 A、placing
B、delivering
C、taking
D、giving

答案C

解析 本题考查动词辨析。动词的主语是Federal health officials(联邦卫生官员)。宾语是orders from the states(来自各州的订单),动作的目标是for the new swine flu vaccine。根据这些已知信息,特别是宾语,最佳答案是C项taking(接收),即接收各州的订单。其他选项例如B项delivering (交付,递送)和D项giving(给予)的意思是向外给予,搭配的介词应该是to而不是from,因此排除。A项placing(放置)和orders搭配是“订货”的意思,即向某人订货,此处指接收订单,因此也排除。
