The National Assessment of Adult Literacy is the most important test of how well adult Americans can read. Researchers【C1】______19,000 people over the age of 16. The study represents an adult population of 222 million. Those who took part were studied on how well they could read and understand information used in everyday life.

Experts say, however, that while many Hispanics are【C8】______to read in English, they can read well in Spain. Overall, American adults improved the most in answering questions that【C9】______numbers.

答案
H
解析
空格前的who引导定语从句修饰those,后面的从句中缺少谓语,而整个句子是比较说明,前面用了best readers,故后面应该是阅读技能不好的人,所以此处应填入lacked。
