It was an anger similar to that I feel when I see【B3】______ foundations of building projects—piled bricks and girders and a gash in the ground left to depress the passerby.

Most of the external pressures that helped to enforce our grandparents’ vows have 【B7】______. Women can earn money and may enjoy sex, even bear children, without marrying.
