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.

C、adjusted
D、provided
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。句意为:在数据收集上来以后的三个月,研究小组发现语言风格相似的情侣中67%仍在一起,而语言风格缺乏相似性的情侣则只有53%还在一起。根据句意,这里的数据应是被“收集,采集”之意,故选择gathered。其他各项均不能正确表示实验的程序,因此都应排除。
