选项 A.series
B.amount
C.list
D.swarm

答案 A

解析本题考查句内语义十短语辨析。由空格后的faces可知，空格所在部分a（n）of在语法上能够接可数名词复数，在语义上能够修饰“面孔”，符合文意的只有A.（a）series（of）。C.（a）list（of）表示“（按一定顺序排列的）系列事项，清单”，但文巾a description of past behavior，either positive or negative、noses.…wider、more narrow noses等信息以及下文“研究对象要选出自己信任的头像（had to trust.．．）”暗示头像应是随机的，这也符合实验常理，故“按一定顺序排列”无从谈起。
