    According to research at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, one of the clearest 【B5】_____of whether wedding vows will stick is the age of the people saying them. Take the 1980s for example, a full 81% of college graduates who【B6】_____that decade at age 26 or older were still married 20 years later.

Instead she【B7】_____that the 50% statistic is a myth that【B8】_____ because it’s something of a political Swiss Army knife, handy for any number of agendas.
