(单选题)
The ultimate problem that prompted the grounding of the American Airlines fleet is that ( ).
A.it has not done any inspections before
B.its airplanes are far too old to fly any more
C.it has not met the FAA maintenance standard
D.the fatality rate has doubled on the last 15 years
参考答案:C
参考解析:
根据文段,最终导致将飞机落地检查就是没有达到FAA的标准,选择C项。A项我们从文段的“the right wheel well of the jets-only two weeks after it had performed the same inspections”可知之前是有过检查的,因此排除。B项文段中没有提及,无中生有,排除。D项指的是在过去15年,牺牲率是现在的两倍,根据最后一段我们可以知道不止两倍,排除。故本题正确答案选C。
