(单选题)

According to the author, the underlined words “the uninitiated individual” in the first paragraph refers to the person ______.

A.who becomes nervous before a disaster

B.who uses a life preserver without permission

C.who has a little experience in using a life preserver

D.who has not been instructed how to use a life preserver

参考答案：D

参考解析：

词义猜测题。根据最后一段第一句“The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated persons even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follows a disaster.”可知，调整身体的方法应该是简单的，而且对于没有经验的人来说是不言而喻的，由此可推测uninitiated persons指的是不知道如何使用救生衣的人。故选D。
