选项 A、acting
B、relying
C、centering
D、commenting
答案C
解析 本题要求判断空格处应填入什么分词与on搭配，构成分词短语。从结构上看，文章第一段由三个平行结构的长句子构成，其主要结构为Many theories concerning…focuson；Theories——on the individual suggest that：Theories focusing on the role of societysuggest that。三个句子的主语都是theories，并都接有分词作定语。因此空格处填入的分词应和前一句中的concerning、后一句中的focusing on遥相呼应，都表示关于……的理论的含义，从文意方面看，第一句话总述到，关于(concerning)青少年犯罪缘由的理论集中研究两个方面，即个人因素和社会因素。第二句强调个人因素的理论。第三句强调(fo-cusing on)社会因素的理论。能表达出集中强调含义的分词短语只有centering on。
