问题     Courts handle two kinds of disputes: civil and criminal. It is not always easy to tell the【S1】______between the two, and some disputes may be either criminal or civil. In general, though, a civil【S2】______is a dispute between two private citizens, whereas a criminal case is one between an individual and the【S3】______community.
    Civil law has to do with the things people have a【S4】______right to expect of one another. For example, when one man【S5】______his name to a promise to pay money to another, the second man has a right to expect payment. If the first man【S6】______to keep his promise, the second man may sue him in civil court.
    Other civil suits arise from accidents. Often the people【S7】______in an accident disagree about whose fault it was. The civil court must decide. The "plaintiff" claims money in compensation(payment)for damage that he accuses the "defendant" of having done to him.
    Criminal law, on the other hand is a【S8】______matter. Here the injury is thought to be to the community as a whole. For instance, if a thief breaks into a man’ s store and steals money or jewelry, his【S9】______not only hurts the man but breaks one of the important rules set up for the peace and safety of everyone. Men are sent to jail fairly often in criminal cases, but only【S10】______in civil cases.

选项
答案 C
解析 If the first man ______ to keep his promise,该空格需要一个动词来修饰“keep his promise”。根据后面的句子“the second man may sue him in civil court”(第二个人可以向法院起诉他)可判断。第一个人没有履行承诺，故fails在此处最为合适。
