选项 A、exposed
B、confined
C、corresponded
D、dedicated

答案D

解析 本题考查动词词义辨析。因为空格所在的句子是在讲菲律宾的父母如何帮助他们的孩子;而本段之后给出了这样一个句子,在讲述孩子如何对待父母:the children are devoted to their parents,who often live nearby。这前后两个句子形成了明显的呼应关系,“be dedicated to”与“be devoted to”表达的意思是一样的,意为“专心于/致力于……的”,因此D选项为正确答案。be exposed to意为“曝光于……”;be confined to意为“局限于……”.be corresponded to意为“对应于……”。
