Function words, on the other hand, vary in their use and help provide reference points in conversations.【C6】______, words like " the," "that" and "of"【C7】______act as function words.
The researchers conducted two experiments to measure language similarities.

The study’s authors found that people who used function words similarly were more【C11】______to express romantic interest in seeing one another in the future. A second experiment measured the use of function words in the online chats of 86 couples over the【C12】______ of 10 days. The researchers found that couples that used function words similarly tended to still be together【C13】______.
Three months after the data were【C14】______, the team discovered that 76 percent of couples 【C15】______ similar language styles were still together compared to 53 percent of other couples that 【C16】______similar styles of speech.

解析
副词辨析题。句意为:研究小组比较了人们使用“功能词”的情况,这些词汇本身很少承载实在的意义,而是帮助在对话中建立语境。后句介绍了功能词与实词的区别并进行了举例说明。根据这些内容,可知所谓的功能词一般是不承载实在意义的。根据空格后的any也可知此处的副词应使用否定词,因此,rarely“很少地”为本题答案。其他各项均不是表示否定意义的副词,排除。
