【名师解析】:题目中的句子 "The United States risks squandering more than $11 billion if it does not come up with adequate plans, a US watchdog said." 描述了如果美国没有制定出充分的计划，将面临超过1100亿美元的浪费风险。这里的关键词汇 "squandering" 意味着无谓地浪费或挥霍。 选项A "luring" 意味着诱惑或吸引，选项B "quoting" 意味着引用或报价，选项D "deferring" 意味着推迟或延期，这些选项都与原句中 "squandering" 的含义不符。 选项C "wasting" 与 "squandering" 意思相近，都表示浪费，因此是正确答案。美国监管机构所表达的担忧是，如果没有适当的计划，可能会造成大量资金的浪费。
