The candles were also a reminder that life is 【S9】______ and represented the candles that would one day be lighted for one’s funeral. By blowing them out, the person celebrating the beginning year of life is demonstrating the ability to control destiny. Blowing all of them out at one time is considered lucky because it implies more than just control, but also 【S10】______ over one’s fate.

选项
答案
D
解析
空格处需填入形容词。空格前不定冠词为an,因此,空格处形容词首字母发音为元音,符合此要求的形容词有ancient,abnormal。ancient意为“古老的,远古的”;ancient worship ritual意为“古老的祭祀仪式”。abnormal意为“反常的,不正常的”,不符合句意,应排除。
