Contrary to popular belief, older people generally do not want to live with their children. Moreover, most adult children【C1】______every bit as much care and support to their aging parents as was the case in the "good old days" , and most older people do not feel【C2】______.

答案
E
解析
名词辨析题。空格前面是形容词religious,因此空格处需要填入名词。该句含义是,父母和子女在子女教育和宗教——能够达成一致,前文提到了分享各自兴趣和价值观,而空格前是形容词religious,因此,空格处可填入commitment“承诺,(对某一组织、活动等的)忠诚”符合句意。备选词语中的chances“可能性,机会”和fulfillment“履行,实行”,与此处文意不符,故均排除。
