选项 A、Provided that
B、In that
C、Now that
D、Given that

答案C

解析 语篇连贯。Provided that与Given that均表达假设,如:Given that I am healthy,I will take the task(如果身体健康的话,我就承担这项任务);In that也表达因果关系,表示某一方面的原因,多用于句中,如:China is different from America in that China has a long history (中国不同于美国,因为中国历史悠久)。根据语篇,由于因特网的私有化,才导致了几个公司之间的竞争,因此选Now that表达因果关系,如:Now that the rain has stopped,we can go out (雨停了,我们可以出去了)。
