than we would like to admit. But just as the moment influences the hemline
and the automobile fender, so too a type of intellectual currency                        【B2】______.
affect our understanding of how illness happens. Much of
the 20th century is spent in pursuit of external causes of                               【B3】______.

medicine’s work was to track down the bad guys, round them up                            【B4】______.
and squish them before a real commotion. Antibiotics, vaccines,

选项
答案 are ∧ the product → more
解析 本题考查句式结构。根据下文的“than we would like to admit”判断，这是一个比较的句式，因此，在前半句中应该有more存在。因为是强调名词product，因此应该放在它的前面。
