Could the reason for the world’s economic misfortunes all come down to finger length? Although certainly an oversimplification of our【C1】 ________ troubles, scientists have shown that financial traders who lose the biggest dollars are more 【C2】 ________ to have shorter ring fingers than index fingers.
Former Wall Street trader and scientist John Coates of the University of Cambridge wondered whether finger ratio really correlated with trader success.

选项
答案
A
解析
此处应为动词。此处的行文时态为一般现在时,根据主语this study可知此处应为动词的第三人称单数形式,词库中focuses和strengthens均符合,但只有focuses能跟on搭配,表示“集中在”,符合文意。
