单项选择题
Individuals may at various points in their fives experience discrimination in the allocation of resources either ______ of being too old or too young.
A. at the risk
B. to the point
C. in the ease
D. on the ground
答案
参考答案：D
解析： 原句意思为：个人在不同阶段都要经历或因年龄太大或因年龄太小而带来的资源的分配不公。on the ground (of)指“根据，以……为理由”，此处引导遭遇资源分配不公的原因。再如：on the ground of ill-health以健康不佳为理由；on the ground that it would do more harm than good以害大于利为理由。at the risk (of)意为“冒险”；to the point (of)意为“切中要害”；in the case(of) 意为“在……的情况下”或者“就……来说”。
