Dịch nghĩa toàn bài:
Giá dầu giảm vào thứ Sáu khi các thương nhân lo ngại rằng một thỏa thuận Opec sẽ cắt giảm 10% nguồn cung toàn cầu sẽ không bù đắp được nhu cầu giảm lịch sử do sự bùng phát của coronavirus.
Giá dầu Brent giảm gần 2,5% xuống còn 31,82 USD / thùng vào thứ Sáu, mặc dù có tin rằng tập đoàn dầu mỏ và các đồng minh, được gọi là Opec+, đã đạt được thỏa thuận chấm dứt cuộc chiến giá cả giữa Ả Rập Saudi và Nga có nguy cơ tràn ngập thị trường với nhiều dầu hơn mức mà thế giới có thể sử dụng.
Mexico ban đầu đặt ra một số nghi ngờ đối với các kế hoạch của Opec, sau khi rõ ràng từ chối đăng ký cắt giảm, với mức 400.000 thùng mỗi ngày (bpd). Thay vào đó, nước này đề nghị cắt giảm 100.000 bpd. Quốc gia này đã báo hiệu vào thứ Sáu rằng Hoa Kỳ có thể sẵn sàng cắt giảm thêm sản lượng của mình để cho phép Mexico giảm bớt nghiêm ngặt hơn. Tổng thống Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador nói rằng Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đã đồng ý giúp đỡ bằng cách cắt giảm sản lượng bổ sung của Mỹ.
Tuy nhiên, các bộ trưởng năng lượng G20 đã không đề cập đến việc cắt giảm sản lượng trong một tuyên bố được đưa ra sau hội nghị thượng đỉnh ảo do Ả Rập Saudi tổ chức vào thứ Sáu. Cuộc họp dự kiến sẽ ký kết thỏa thuận cắt giảm sản lượng nhưng tuyên bố cam kết rằng G20 sẽ phối hợp với nhau để đảm bảo sự ổn định của thị trường dầu mỏ. Tuyên bố cho biết “chúng tôi cam kết đảm bảo rằng ngành năng lượng tiếp tục đóng góp đầy đủ, hiệu quả để khắc phục Covid-19 và tăng sức mạnh cho sự phục hồi toàn cầu sau đó.”Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions

A two-time winner of People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" title (1995 and 2000), Pitt began dating Jennifer Aniston, star of the TV sitcom Friends, in 1998. Pitt and Aniston married on July 29, 2000, in Malibu, California. The couple announced their separation in January 2005, divorcing in October of that year.
Soon after their separation, Brad Pitt began dating Angelina Jolie, with the actress later revealing that the two developed feelings for each other on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In May 2006, the couple had a baby girl, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. In July 2008, Pitt and Jolie had twins: a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline. They also have three adopted children: Maddox, Pax Thien and Zahara.
The couple became engaged in 2012 and tied the knot in a private ceremony on August 23, 2014, in France. However, Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, requesting sole physical custody of their six children.
The drama surrounding their contentious split played out the media, with Jolie in June 2018 reported to be in danger of losing custody due to her insistence on keeping the children from seeing their father. In August, Jolie filed court documents that claimed her estranged husband had "paid no meaningful child support since separation." Pitt's legal team followed with their own filing in which they asserted that the actor had paid more than $1.3 million in bills for the family and helped his wife buy her current home through an $8 million loan.
The actor faced more legal problems that month when an attorney announced plans to sue Pitt's Make It Right Foundation on behalf of residents of an area of New Orleans that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The foundation built more than 100 "green" houses in 2008, and allegedly promised to return to make necessary fixes. The lawyer claimed his clients endured infrastructural issues and illnesses at their homes.

Oil prices dropped on Friday as traders feared that an Opec deal to slash global supplies by 10% would not offset a historic drop in demand due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The price of Brent crude fell nearly 2.5% to $31.82 per barrel on Friday, despite news that the oil cartel and allies, known as Opec+, had reached a deal that would end a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia that threatened to flood the market with more oil than the world could use.
Mexico initially cast some doubt over Opec’s plans, after apparently refusing to sign up to its share of cuts, which would have been 400,000 barrels per day (bpd). The country instead offered to cut 100,000 bpd. The country signalled on Friday that the US may be willing to make further cuts to its production in order to allow Mexico to make less stringent reductions. Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that US president Donald Trump had agreed to help out by cutting additional US output.
However, G20 energy ministers did not mention production cuts in a statement released after a virtual summit hosted by Saudi Arabia on Friday. The meeting had been expected to seal the deal on production cuts, but the statement pledged that the G20 would work together to ensure oil “market stability”. “We commit to ensure that the energy sector continues to make a full, effective contribution to overcoming Covid-19 and powering the subsequent global recovery,” the statement said.
