When their alcoholism goes【B5】______. it costs a bundle. Problem drinkers don’t pull their weight in the office, are often【B6】______late or absent, and file $4,600 more in health claims a year than other employees.

选项
答案
toll
解析
空前的名词所有格和空后的谓语remains表明,本空应填一单数名词或不可数名词。冒号后的句子(大约有1,800万美国人酗酒,每年有10万人死于与酒有关的疾病)是对冒号前的句子的解释说明,由此可推断出,本空所填词可能有“死亡率”或“死亡人数”的含义。toll意为“死亡人数”。
