选项 A、logical
B、sensational
C、emotional
D、rational

答案C

解析 词汇辨析题。显然,这里是对上句进一步解释。上句中说the line from bad parenting and bad environment to murder is usually clear(很清楚,该模式始于不良的家教和恶劣的环境,最后促使孩子成了杀人犯),紧接着本句就提到Their lives start with abuse,neglect..,从句中的start with可知,这里是说上句中提到的bad parenting。父母的错误行为包括虐待、忽视以及在家里被剥夺了某种东西。emotional意为"情感的,情绪的",句中的emotional deprivation表示"情感剥夺",指对一些情感的需求得不到满足,如关注、理解、支持等,这与虐待和忽视一起都是父母在养育孩子的过程中所犯的错误。logical意为"逻辑的,合乎情理的",sensational意为"耸人听闻的,壮观的",rational意为"合理的",强调"有理性和思考、推理能力的",这三个词放在句中均不符合上下文语义关系。
