By the time the BEP was officially established in 1874, the Treasury Department had been creating【B12】______for more than a decade—with dozens of clerks manually cutting and signing bills before the process was【B13】______.

A、longevity
B、span
C、assumption
D、regulation
答案
A
解析
语义逻辑题。需要联系上下文。前文中提到100元纸币可以用7年,而1元钱只能用21个月。也就是说前面几句话都是在讨论纸币的寿命。由the same kind可推断出空格所在句子承接上文依然在讨论货币的寿命,意为“大陆币没有那么长寿”。四个选项中可以表示“长寿、寿命”的只有A项。
