参考译文
周三．一场强震袭击了智利北部海岸附近的区域。在此前一天，一场甚至更强的地震袭击了这个地区，并造成至少6人死亡。美国地质调查局表示，当地时间周三深夜，一场7．8级的余震袭击了智利北部。震级用于衡量震中释放的能量。美国官员表示，这场余震的震中位于伊基克港以南23千米左右。他们说，这场余震发生在海平面以下20千米的深处。这场余震使得智利官员下令数千人远离沿海地区，也导致太平洋部分地区发出了大海啸警报。禁令和海啸警报随后被解除。这场余震袭来的前一天，一场更强的地震袭击了智利北部。那场地震的震中位于伊基克港西北110千米左右。该市有近20万居民。这场地震在智力和秘鲁都有震感，并导致远处的日本也发出海啸警报。这些警报数小时后才被解除。
智利警察和士兵在沿海社区警戒，以防止对家庭和商户的冲击。电视视频展示了伊基克的受损建筑。但有关官员惊奇地发现地震损伤很小。智利总统米歇尔·巴切莱特走访了受地震影响地区。她对智利国民谈到了这场灾难。她说。智利已经采取了适当措施保护生命和财产。她还表示政府将继续不间断工作，处理这一突发事件并保护公民们。
解析
be blamed for的意思是“为……负责，是……的原因”。这里上文提到地震，下文又讲到几人丧命，因此可以推断出此处意思是“这场地震导致六人丧命”。因此，正确答案是M。
