When night falls, red and blue and other colors【C1】______a hazy (雾蒙蒙的) glow over a city lit up by tens of thousands of neon signs.

Building a neon sign is an art practiced by【C4】______trained on the job to mold glass tubes into【C5】______shapes and letters. They fill these tubes with gases that glow when【C6】______Neon makes orange, while other gases make yellow or blue. It takes many hours to craft a single sign.

"I love the beautiful, handcrafted, old-fashioned【C9】______of neon," says Blance.

选项
答案
E
解析
空格前是介词into,空格后是名词shapes,因此本空需要填入一个形容词作定语。结合句意可知,专业人士将玻璃管塑造成各种装饰性的形状和文字。备选项中只有decorative(装饰性的)符合句意,故答案为E。
