The National Assessment of Adult Literacy is the most important test of how well adult Americans can read. Researchers【C1】______19,000 people over the age of 16. The study represents an adult population of 222 million. Those who took part were studied on how well they could read and understand information used in everyday life.

选项
答案
E
解析
空格所在的句子是一个转折句,从句子成分分析,此处应该填入动词。空格处前面有but,应该是与前面的句子做比较,前面提到动词increased,故此处应该填一个与之意思相反的词,故选decreased,表示“减少”。
