   The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it. "Living alone is a luxury," says Nina Hagiwara,  "Once you do it, you can’t ever go back to living with others." David C’ Debaca, agrees.(4) Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please.(5).The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.

选项
答案F
解析 空格前句提到“独自生活是一种享受，一旦你独自生活了，你就不可能再返回去和他人生活在一起”。而且前面提到了一个具体的人和他发表的评论，所以比较选项发现F最合适：在含义上“我喜欢独自生活”与前句内容一致，而且有代词he直接和前句中的David C’Debaca呼应。
