A second experiment measured the use of function words in the online chats of 86 couples over the【C12】______ of 10 days.

选项
A、obvious
B、important
C、intangible
D、explicit
答案
D
解析
形容词辨析题。句意为:实词,例如名词、形容词和动词,承载明确的意义。根据句中所举出的词类性质,可知这类词汇能承载具体、明确的意义,因此explicit为答案。实词和功能词的区别不在于是否承载重要意义,因此排除important;实词承载的不应是无形的或无法确定的意义,排除intangible;obvious“明显的”指容易辨认或理解,并非指意义是否明确,排除。
