Americans also【S4】_____"looking good" and choose foods that "look good". Some are even willing to spend a lot of money on food that makes them "look good"—as when they eat in【S5】_____restaurants. The characteristics of America’s dominant food culture are cost.convenience, and【S6】_____.

答案
M
解析
由空格前的不定冠词和后面的名词可知,本处需填形容词。空格所在句句意为“多半情况下,美国人希望自己的食物快捷、方便、廉价——不管是在超市买来的,还是在 快餐连锁店买来的。”根据句意,local“当地的”意思最合适。
