These are dark days for the book business. Borders, a once-huge bookseller,【C1】______ on July 18th that it will close down its remaining stores, leaving nearly 10,700 staff jobless. Publishers will lose a showcase for their books, which could mean more laid-off editors. Yet the problem is not the 【C2】______: writers will still scribble for scraps. Nor demand: American book publishers reported 【C3】______ across all platforms last year. It is just that no one is making money.
The business needs fresh ideas. Enter Unbound, a British effort to "crowd-fund" books. Visitors to its website can pledge money for a book that is only【C4】______.

In these digitally isolating times, the personal touch may【C10】______. [br] 【C10】
选项
答案

解析
此空填入动词,与may一起构成句子的谓语。句中的personal touch指代上文让读者参与出书的方法,由Unbound的例子可看出,这种方法是成功的,故选work“奏效”。
