问题 Tracing missing persons can take much patient
detective work. But a special kind of "private eye"
can trace the missing ancestors of whole peoples by 【1】______
studying the clues buried by words.

are called, have traced the word trail back
from peoples in Europe, India, South Africa, the
Americas, and the Pacific islands in a tiny name- 【3】______
less, and forgotten tribe that roamed central Eurasia
5,000 to 6,000 years ago, before the dawn
of writing history.                               【4】______
Since a long time scholars puzzled over the    【5】______
striking difference of words in different languages.【6】______
In Dutch, vader; in Latin, pater; in old Irish,
athir;  in Persian, pidar; in the Sanskrit of
distant India,  pitr. These words all sounded
likely and meant the same thing--"father".       【7】______
Where did it happen that widely separated       【8】______
peoples used such close related sound symbols.    【9】______
The problem baffled linguists for years. The more
so because "father" was but one of a host of such

选项

答案将and改为to。

解析以便和前文的from构成搭配“from…to…”，表示“从……到……”，例如：A lady’s imagination is very rapid；it jumps from admiration to love，from love to matrimony in a moment．女士想像的速度极快，从爱慕到恋爱，从恋爱到结婚，这一切在她的想像中都发生在瞬间。And so from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe，and then from hour to hour，we rot and rot；and thereby hangs a tale．就这样，随着时间的推移，我们不断成熟，随着时间的推移，我们变得老朽，于是就有了一段故事。
