"You need an apartment alone even if it’s over a garage," declared Helen Gurley Brown in her 1962 bestseller "Sex and the Single Girl". To Brown, solo living afforded the【C1】________ to cultivate the self, furnish the mind and work late, and so on. Young women should enjoy their best years without a【C2】________. she advised, as this not only laid the foundation for stronger marriages but gave them a lifestyle to fall back on【C3】________ they found themselves alone again.
Sensational at the time, Brown’s counsel seems【C4】________ now. Certainly both sexes have taken it to heart, marrying later, divorcing【C5】________ and living alone in larger numbers than ever before. Yet little is known about the wider social effects of this unprecedented boom, writes Eric Klinenberg, a sociologist at New York University. His new book "Going Solo" offers a【C6】________ look at the lures and perils of living alone.
Mr Klinenberg parts with those who see the rise of solo living as yet another【C7】________ of the decline of civic society. Now that marriage is no longer the ticket to adulthood, a desire to live alone is【C8】________ reasonable, he writes. Young adults view it as a rite of passage, a period of personal growth before possibly settling down. Its cultural acceptance has helped to【C9】________ women from bad marriages and oppressive families,【C10】________ them a space to return to civic life.

选项

答案 A

解析空格前的系动词seems提示空格处应填入形容词。逗号前说的是at the time“一度”，而逗号后是now，两者形成鲜明的对比，因此空格填入的词应与上文的Sensational“轰动一时的”形成鲜明对比。Sensational在此指该观点在当时非常另类，词库中能与之相对的形容词只有sensible“合理的”。干扰选项sensitive“敏感的”是形近干扰。
