Câu 20: Câu trước nêu bộ trưởng nông nghiệp Ý ủng hộ lệnh cấm, cho rằng văn hóa quốc gia phải được bảo vệ trong thế giới toàn cầu hóa. Câu sau (For example, tomatoes were first cultivated in South America, and some historians suggest that pasta may have Asian origins) đưa ví dụ về các món 'typical Italian' có nguồn gốc nước ngoài. Chỗ trống cần ý phản bác rằng nhiều món được coi là 'typical Italian' thực ra đến từ các nước khác. - A sai vì 'Therefore' không hợp logic: ý trước là ủng hộ lệnh cấm, không thể dẫn đến kết luận phê phán như vậy. - B sai vì 'some foods from other countries are not considered typically Italian' nghĩa ngược với ví dụ phía sau. - C sai vì 'Besides' không diễn tả sự đối lập giữa người ủng hộ và người phản đối trong cuộc tranh luận. - D đúng: 'Conversely, critics disagree' tạo tương phản hợp lý với bộ trưởng, và 'many foods considered typically Italian came from other countries' dẫn trực tiếp vào ví dụ về cà chua (Nam Mỹ) và pasta (châu Á). Đáp án khớp với đáp án nguồn (D).
