问题     Bankers’ acceptances often arise in foreign trade. A business buying goods from abroad where it is not well known and does not have other credit arrangements will first obtain a letter of credit from its own bank. The letter will authorize the foreign seller to draw a draft on the company’s bank. It can be made payable on sight, that is, upon presentation, payable upon arrival of merchandise, or payable in a fixed number of days. A draft can be made payable in, say, 30 days after it is presented to the bank against which it is drawn. This draft can be discounted at the seller’s bank so that the seller receives immediate payment. If this is done, the draft can be sent through correspondent banks back to the domestic bank against which it is drawn. The domestic bank can buy the draft, a short-term loan agreement to be paid by the company buying the goods abroad. This action would tie up bank funds. Alternatively, the bank can stamp the draft "accepted" with the appropriate signature, thereby indicating that the bank guarantees the draft, and then sell it in the secondary market.  
What will happen if a draft is stamped "accepted" by a bank?

选项 A、The bank will sell it as soon as possible to the buyer.
B、The draft will become money market funds.
C、Dealers will buy it in the domestic market.
D、The draft becomes a banker’s acceptance and will be sold in the money market.

答案D

解析 最后一句指出Alternatively, the bank can stamp the draft "accepted" with the appropriate signature,...sell it in the secondary market, 意思是作为一种选择,由银行承兑的汇票可以在二级市场上流通(这是因为银行信誉度高的缘故)。
