A 2014 Australian article highlighted concerns about illegal arms trafficking, claiming it causes more than how many victims annually?

• A. More than 500,000 victims annually
• B. Less than 1,000 victims annually
• C. Around 5,000 victims annually
• D. Around 50,000 victims annually

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing the scale of harm that the article attributes to illegal arms trafficking. The piece emphasizes a very large number of victims each year, so the option that describes a very large annual toll aligns best with that claim. The other choices describe far smaller figures, which don’t fit the article’s emphasis on the widespread impact. So the choice that states a very large annual victim count is the best match.
