    The risk of being drawn into problematic internet use was at its highest among 16-year-old adolescents, with the phenomenon being more common among boys.

The【C6】________of problematic internet use is often associated with adolescent development where their self-regulation and control improve, their brains adapt and assignments related to education direct their attention.

It was found in the study that the household climate and parenting also matter; the children of distant parents have a higher risk of【C8】________into detrimental internet use.

选项
答案 M
解析 动词辨析题。空格前是名词problem，其后是介词into，而后一分句中使用的是现在时，可知此处缺少动词第三人称单数形式。由空格后but引导的转折句中提到的另一些人随着年龄增长，问题会逐渐缓解，可知空格所在分句所说的情况应与此相反，备选动词中的persists“持续存在”符合句意，且可与其后的into adulthood搭配，故M为答案。
