In other words, they all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Many caregivers believed they had【C7】______to help their relative. Some stated that helping others【C8】______them feel more useful.

【C9】

选项 A、elderly
B、dependent
C、dependable
D、independent

答案B

解析 本题四个选项中elderly意为“上了年纪的”,与其前面的old重复;dependent意为“依靠别人的”;dependable意为“可依靠的”;independent意为“独立的”。所以根据句意“……他们希望自己上了年纪需要依靠别人时也能得到别人的照顾”,答案为B)。
