Giải thích

Hướng dẫn giải:

Đáp án đúng: D (lo sợ rằng người dân sẽ ngừng sử dụng tiền giấy)

Thông tin: For quite some time, the government preferred to keep the public in the dark about the extent of the counterfeiting at that time, afraid that the public would lose confidence in the country’s paper money if they knew that there was so much counterfeit money mixed in with the real thing.

Dịch nghĩa: Trong một thời gian khá dài, chính phủ muốn giữ bí mật với công chúng về mức độ làm tiền giả vào thời điểm đó, vì sợ rằng công chúng sẽ mất lòng tin vào tiền giấy của đất nước nếu họ biết rằng có quá nhiều tiền giả được trộn lẫn với tiền thật.
