singles are high earners on their 30s and 40s who increasingly view【S3】____________
living alone as a lifestyle choice. "The Swedish word for someone living
alone used to be ensam, which had connotations of being lonely," notes
Eva Sandsteadt, author of Living Alone in Sweden. "It was conceived as

Eppendorf, a blond Berliner with a deep tan, teaches grade school in the

选项
答案
alone—lonely
解析
词义混淆。alone是表语形容词,表示“单独,独自”,而lonely则表示“孤独的,寂寞的”。本句意为“独居在巴黎的35岁作曲家皮皮.阿罗约说因为有太多的事要做,他根本没有时间体会孤独。”因此使用lonely。
