    The differences between men and women clarify why they have different expectations about communication in marriage. For women, talk【C1】________ intimacy. Marriage is an orgy (狂欢) of closeness: you can tell your feelings and thoughts, and still be loved. Women’s greatest【C2】________ is being pushed away. But men live in a hierarchical world, where talk maintains independence and status. They are on【C3】________ to protect themselves from being put down and pushed around.
    This【C4】________ the paradox of the talkative man who said of his silent wife, "She’s the talker."
    In【C5】________ settings, he feels challenged to show his intelligence and【C6】________ his understanding. But at home, where he has nothing to prove and no one to defend against, he is free to remain silent. For his wife, being home means she is【C7】________ from the worry that something she says might offend someone, or spark disagreement, or appear to be showing off; at home she is free to talk. The communication【C8】________ that endanger marriage can’t be fixed by mechanical engineering. They require a new conceptual framework about the role of talk in human relationships. Many of the psychological explanations may not be【C9】________, because they tend to blame either women (for not being assertive enough) or men (for not being in touch with their feelings). A sociolinguistic approach in which male-female conversation is seen as cross-cultural communication allows us to understand the problem and【C10】________ solutions without blaming either party.

选项
答案 K
解析 空格处应填入动词第三人称单数，作谓语。空格前的This指代上文提到的关于男女对交谈的不同看法，空格后的“健谈的男人反而称其沉默少言的妻子为健谈者的矛盾问题”是一个现象，由此可知前后属因果联系，即男女看法的差异可以解释这种现象，词库中的explains“解释”符合语境。
