Instead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more【C1】______to have low body mass index(BMI)levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavier.

The study took age, gender, social class and other【C10】______into account.
"The comfortable ambient temperature(环境温度)of 20.3-23°C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor cold. At temperatures above this, we expend more energy and we eat less because our appetite is suppressed. " Dr. Daly said.

答案
M
解析
副词辨析题。空格前的并列连词and连接的并列成分是being in the…和finding it easier…两个现在分词短语。空格所填词应表明两个分词短语之间的逻辑关系,因此,空格处应该填副词。结合句意,两个分句之间应是因果关系,故答案为M)therefore“因此,所以”。
