问题     Data of modern and historic peasant communities suggest that individuals and communities specialize in ceramic production for trade primarily to offset subsistence shortfalls arising from inadequate or insufficient agricultural land. Harry investigated whether this correlation of ceramic specialization with agricultural marginality occurred among prehistoric inhabitants of the American Southwest. At Arizona’s West Branch site, occupied A.D. 900-1100, abundant pottery manufacturing materials suggest village-wide ceramic production in excess of that needed for household purposes.
Replacement of the word “marginality” with which of the following words results in the least change meaning for the passage?
选项 A、peculiarity
B、insignificant
C、nonconformity
D、deficiency
E、futility
答案D
解析 marginality和第一句的shortfalls、inadequate、insufficient均构成对应关系，因此选项D正确。
