Đáp án D: derive
Kiến thức kiểm tra: Sự lựa chọn từ đúng động từ
Giải thích chi tiết:
Cấu trúc "to derive something from something" = "to get something from some thing", nghĩa là "có được cái gì từ cái gì".
Ý nghĩa cả câu: "Finally, changes in the availability and use of natural resources located in rural areas affect the people who earn a living from those resources and those who derive other benefits from them." - Cuối cùng là những thay đổi về lượng và việc khai thác các tài nguyên thiên nhiên ở khu vực nông thôn làm ảnh hưởng đến những người kiếm sống từ những nguồn tài nguyên đó cũng như những người thu lợi từ đó.
Từ "them" cuối cùng thay thế cho cụm "natural resources located in rural areas".
Các phương án khác không phù hợp về nghĩa:
A. involve (v): liên quan đến, bao gồm ("involve somebody/something")
B. evolve (v): tiến hóa, phát triển ("evolve from something into something")
C. bring (v): mang tới ("bring something to something/somebody" hoặc "bring somebody something")
