The earlier quake was【C1】______at least six deaths. The United States Geological Survey says a 7.8 magnitude aftershock hit northern Chile late Wednesday night, local time. Magnitude is a【C2】______of the energy released at the centre, or source, of an earthquake. U.S. officials said the aftershock was centred about 23【C3】______south of the port of Iquique.

Chilean police and soldiers guarded coastal【C8】______to prevent attacks on homes and businesses. Television video showed damaged buildings in Iquique. But officials found surprisingly light damage from the quake. President Michelle Bachelet visited the affected area. She spoke to the nation about the disaster. She said【C9】______measures have been taken to protect lives and property.

【C3】
选项
答案
D

kilometres的意思是“千米”,根据上下文可知此处讲的是余震的位置,因此应该用表示长度的kilometres,而不是kilograms(千克),因为后者是表示重量的。因此,正确答案是D。
