Yet the popular papers seem largely【C7】______ for entertainment. Their news coverage contains【C8】______ comment and persuasive language. The quality newspapers【C9】______ a much higher value on information and a much【C10】______ one on entertainment.
     It is not only in content【C11】______ the two types of paper differ. There is a【C12】______  in the style in which the articles 【C13】______ .

选项 A、a number of
B、many of
C、a lot of
D、a few of
答案 C
解析 因为a number of，many of和a few of后面只可跟可数名词复数，又因为comment and persuasive language是不可数名词，所以A 、B 和D 错误。由于a lot of后既可跟可数名词，也可跟不可数名词，故C 为正确答案。
