选项 A、For instance
B、As a result
C、In brief
D、On the whole
答案A
解析 篇章副词题(固定搭配衔接上下文)。根据句首空格和逗号这一命题形式我们可以推断本空格需要衔接上下文、表达上下文语意关系的篇章副词(或具有衔接功能的固定搭配)。上句表述了“奥委会也会考虑世界上哪个地区还未举办过奥运会”，下旬提到日本的东京主办了1964年奥运会和墨西哥城主办了1968年奥运会，显然下句是对上句的例证。因此，本空格中需要“比如，例如”等类似含义。A项For instance意为“例如”，符合题意，为本题答案；B项As a result意为“因此，结果”，不符合题意；C项In brief意为“简而言之”，不符合题意；D项On the whole意为“大体上，总的来说”不符合题意。
