But in a new paper Leslie Stratton of Virginia Commonwealth University asks【C8】______different attitudes to housework also play a【C9】______in sharing the dusting.

Mr Stratton found some【C12】______for the pay-gap hypothesis. Women with higher wages did a little【C13】______work at home. A woman who earned 10% more than【C14】______ducked out of two minutes’ housework per weekday.

解析
空格修饰work at home(家务活),本段说到男女家务分配与双方收入差距的关系,本句提到的lower-paid提示了修饰work的这个词也可能跟报酬情况相关,而家务活是“没有报酬的”.因此选C项unpaid“无报酬的”。
