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.

选项
A、within
B、under
C、about
D、Behind
答案
C
解析
介词辨析题。句意同上。本空后面的代词this是指研究发现,句意表述的是有关此项研究令人感到奇妙的地方,因此只有表示“相关,有关”的介词才符合上下文语境,故选用about。under和behind主要表示方位,within表示范围和限制,均不合适。
