    The federal government 【C7】______ poverty line as a minimum 【C8】______ of income 【C9】______ for basic maintenance of a family or four. This amount may fluctuated【C10】______the cost of living and the location of the family. In 1998, a family of four with an annual income below $ 16,530 was classified【C11】______living in poverty.

【C10】
选项 A、relying on
B、focusing on
C、depending on
D、looking on
答案C
解析 考查动词短语辨析。空前信息为：这个数额会变动。空后信息为：生活的成本和家庭的居住地。后面的信息显然是变动的依据，故答案选C．depending on“依靠，依赖；取决于”。relying on与depending on意思相近，但是前者更强调情感上的依靠与信赖，后者更强调客观事实，常译为“取决于”；focusing on“致力于，聚焦于”；looking on“在一旁观看，袖手旁观”，均不符合题意。
