After all, you don’t have to believe it, and the best thing about it is that it doesn’t require a lot of time or expensive【C2】eq______either. But many are skeptical that palm reading has any scientific basis at all. 【C3】______ could be more ridiculous than the idea that our future can be predicted from the random lines and creases on our hands?

This may be connected with events between the thirteenth and eighteenth weeks of pregnancy, a crucial time for brain【C9】dev______and the period when fingerprints are formed. So maybe there is some truth in what the palm reader says and there is nothing more guaranteed to cheer you up than the news that you are about to meet a tall dark stranger【C10】w______will change your life for the better.
