单选题 The local authorities realized the need to make ______ for elderly people in their housing programmes.
  • A. preparation
  • B. requirement
  • C. specification
  • D. provision
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查固定搭配。make preparations for表示“为……做准备”；make provision for指“为……做好准备，为……预先采取措施”，着重指提前做出的准备。如：to make provision for the future准备日后之需；不说make requirement/specification for。因此，答案为D。
