M: Fewer people came than we had expected. It was disappointing, but we made a little money for our organization.
W: Sorry, I wasn’t able to attend. I intended to.
Q: What did the man say about the fund raising event?
事实细节题。题干为：关于这次筹款活动，男士说了什么？男士说“Fewer people came than we had expected. It was disappointing, but we made a little money for our organization.（来的人比我们预料的少。这是令人失望的，但我们为我们的组织赚了一点钱。）”由此可知，来的人比预期的要少，但还是筹集了一些钱。故选项C“It received fewer people than expected.（接待的人比预期的要少）”正确。”A选项“筹款活动出乎意料地取消了”；B选项“它筹集的资金超过了预期”；D选项“男人的缺席让女人很失望”不符合原文。
