单选题 What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?

A、 A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.
B、 Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.
C、 Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.
D、 Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】辨认事实题。根据第1句“纽约州命令店铺对饮料容器收取押金。”可知[C]“顾客要为饮料容器付款，而在归还它们后把钱收回”为原文释义，关键在于理解deposit“押金”。而[A]“对使用过的饮料容器实行收费来循环使用”，[B]“该州应收集扔掉了的饮料容器来循环使用”和[D]“饮料公司应当负责收集和重新使用丢弃的塑料汽水瓶”均为无关信息或胡乱拼凑。
