The difference between "writer" and "reporter" or "journalist" isn’t that the journalist reports—she【C1】________ sources, calls people, takes them out to lunch, and【C2】________ acts as an intermediary between her audience and the world of experts. The journalist also writes, of course, but anybody can write. But few can get their calls【C3】________ by key congressmen, top academics, important CEOs. That is the powerful advantage that the journalist has over her audience: She’s got sources and they don’t.
If the transaction between the journalist and the audience is that the journalist has the time, talent, and【C4】________ to clearly communicate the ideas of newsmakers and experts, what then is the transaction between the journalist and those newsmakers and experts? After all, the journalist, and her institution, are profiting, hopefully handsomely, off their contribution to the enterprise. It’s not going too far to say that the whole business would【C5】________ without their participation. Journalists without sources are, well, mere writers.
Moreover, those sources are giving up something of value. They’re giving up【C6】________, for one thing. Some fine folks have spent countless hours【C7】________ me through the details of the federal budget. They’re giving up information that, in other【C8】________, people pay them for—consider a CEO who gives paid lectures or a life-long academic at a private college. They are exposing themselves to considerable professional risk, both by telling the journalist things they’re not supposed to share and simply by making themselves vulnerable to being【C9】________ in public.
So how does the journalist compensate these sources? Well, the natural answer in a market economy would be that the sources to get paid. But, in a brilliant maneuver, journalism as a profession has deemed it【C10】________to pay sources for information. [br] 【C5】

选项

答案 N

解析空格处需要填入动词原形，与would一起作从句的谓语。上文提到新闻工作者区别于一般作者的优势在于他们能得到新闻来源，即空格所在句上一句说的“新闻人物和专家”对这个行业做出的贡献。可见若没有这些人参与(即没有新闻来源)，新闻行业是没法发展下去的，collapse“倒塌”符合语境。
