The group compared people’s use of " function words" which【C3】______carry any meaning on their own,【C4】______ help build context in conversations. Content words, such as nouns, adjectives and verbs, carry an【C5】______ meaning. Function words, on the other hand, vary in their use and help provide reference points in conversations.【C6】______, words like "the," " that" and " of"【C7】______ act as function words.
The researchers conducted two experiments to measure language similarities. One setup【C8】______ 40 speed dating sessions among college students,【C9】______ the couples’ conversations were recorded and transcribed for【C10】______. The study’s authors found that people who used function words similarly were more【C11】______to express romantic interest in seeing one another in the future. A second experiment measured the use of function words in the online chats of 86 couples over the【C12】______ of 10 days. The researchers found that couples that used function words similarly tended to still be together【C13】______.
Three months after the data were【C14】______, the team discovered that 76 percent of couples【C15】______ similar language styles were still together compared to 53 percent of other couples that【C16】______similar styles of speech.

选项
A、when
B、as
C、where
D、that
答案
C
解析
定语从句题。句意同上。分析逗号前后两个分句间的关系,后一分句补充说明了前一分句主语的信息,故判断为定语从句。该定语从句主干完整,因此排除关系代词that;主从句之间并非时间关系,排除when;从句也不是说明主句的方式等,排除as;关系副词where引导的定语从句除了表示具体的地点外,还可修饰一些相对抽象的名词,说明其场景、条件等,本题即是这种用法。
