those on either side of marriage—twenty something professionals
or widowed senior citizens. While pensioners, particularly
elderly women, making up a large proportion of those【S1】______
are living alone, the newest crop of singles are high earners【S2】______
on their 30s and 40s who increasingly view living alone as a lifestyle【S3】______

Now, young people want to live alone.

ever. And that doesn’t leave much rooms for relationships. Pimpi【S5】______

选项
答案
since—while
