These are dark days for the book business. Borders, a once-huge bookseller,【C1】______ on July 18th that it will close down its remaining stores, leaving nearly 10,700 staff jobless. Publishers will lose a showcase for their books, which could mean more laid-off editors. Yet the problem is not the 【C2】______: writers will still scribble for scraps. Nor demand: American book publishers reported 【C3】______ across all platforms last year. It is just that no one is making money.
The business needs fresh ideas. Enter Unbound, a British effort to "crowd-fund" books. Visitors to its website can pledge money for a book that is only【C4】______.

答案
L
