问题     With the world’ s population estimated to grow from six to nine billion by 2050, researchers, businesses and governments are already dealing with the impact, this increase will have on everything from food and water to infrastructure(基础设施)and jobs. Underling all this【C1】______will be the demand for energy, which is expected to double over the next 40 years.

[A]stable[B]solutions
[C]significant[D]role

选项
答案M
解析 分析句子结构可知，when引导的时间状语从句省略了主语和be动词，结合句意可知，空格处的单词与alternative energy sources是被动关系，故此处应填动词的过去分词形式。由句子大意可推断，此处所填的词有“合在一起，结合”的意思，故combined(使结合，联合)符合句意。
