正确答案：C
细节题。第二段前两句提到“…onlytheRoyalAcademy，runbysupposedlyimpracticalartists，askedforalease．Itwasgiven999yearsatapeppercornrent”，只有“不讲求实际的”皇家艺术院提出要租用BurlingtonHouse，政府同意出租，租期为999年，并象征性地收取租金，故答案为[C]。“impracticalartists”是反语，故排除[B]；第一段首句提到，皇家化学学会等五大学会在皇家艺术院的侧翼占用了大量房屋而没有引起注意，第二段第三句提到“TheSocietiesandtheirallegedlyhard—headedscientistmembers，wereleaselessandrent-free”，五大学会和精明的科学家们在BurlingtonHouse是免付租金的，故排除[A]。
