    America is one of many countries where the state gives a leg-up to members of certain racial, ethnic, or other groups by holding them to different standards. The details【C1】______. 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.

选项
答案K
解析 空格应填入动词作宾语从句的谓语。空格后的affirmative action reduces the number of blacks“平权法案实际上减少了黑人的人数”是一个结论，证据当然是“证明，表明”一个结论，备选动词中的suggests“表明”符合语境，故选K。此处的that指代evidence，因此动词应用第三人称单数，据此排除原形的prove。
