第 9 問 次の英文を読み,下の問い(問 1 ~ 3 )において,本文の内容に一致する最 も適当なものを,それぞれ下のa~dのうちから,一つずつ選べ。
If you have a good idea for a product or service, but you don’t have money to start a business, what will you do? You need investors. Now you can find them on the Internet. It is called “crowdfunding.” Crowdfunding is the use of money from many people through social media to start a new business. “Crowd” means, of course, “many people,” and “funding” means “to provide money for some purpose.”
Crowdfunding gives people the chance to raise money from anyone. A crowdfunding website provides a forum to show your idea to waiting investors. Investors can select from hundreds of projects and invest as little as $10. Investors can get money if the idea is successful. If you have an idea, why don’t you try crowdfunding?
