    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.

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。
