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、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。
