参考答案

【正确答案:E】

根据左栏信号词Protest riots occurred可回文定位到第1段:...as evidenced by the protest riots that have erupted in places like Haiti, Bangladesh and Burkina Faso; 发生在海地、孟加拉以及布基纳法索(非洲国家)的由抗议引起的暴乱都证实了这一点。
请注意题干信息与原文的语义对应:题干的Protest riots (由抗议引起的暴乱)对应原文的protest riots (由抗议引起的暴乱);题干的occurred(发生)对应原文的erupted(爆发)。比对选项,可发现E项恰与上述定位信息语义一致,故选E。
