问题 How many people died in last month’s riot?
  
An Ethiopian federal high court has ordered two prominent academics and human rights activists to remain in jail at least until next week on charges of inciting last month’s rioting in Addis Ababa in which 41 people died.
     The two, retired professor Mesfin Woldemariam and Professor Berhanu Nego were denied bail at Friday’s hearing in Addis Ababa. Mr. Mesfin was the founder and first president of the Ethiopian Human Rights Council.  Both men are on hunger strikes.
     Prosecutors allege the two human rights advocates had stirred up students in speeches on April eighth, two days before students began class boycotts to press for greater academic freedom and an end to a police presence on the campus of Addis Ababa University.
     The deaths came in serious rioting by students and others April 17 and 18 in which cars and buildings were burned and shops looted.

选项 A、Many students.
B、41 people.
C、Prof. Mesfin Woldmariam and Prof. Berhanu Nego.
D、Those workers on hunger strikes.

答案C

解析 新闻的第一段就介绍了有两个人被判入狱,而具体是什么人,还没有提到。第二段“The two”,这种定冠词“the”强调的两个人,自然是前文提到的那两个,这样,考生就不难结合上下文得出正确答案了。
