There【C13】______was a marriage gap in 1960: only four percentage points separated the wedded ways of college and high-school graduates (76% versus 72%).

选项
A、race
B、faith
C、class
D、gender

C
解析
根据前文说“美国的结婚人口数量急剧下降”,可以判断空格处的这句话意思是“这一趋势带有明显的……特色”,四个选项分别代表四种不同的特色,[A]种族、[B]信仰、[C]阶级、[D]性别。后面的文章内容主要讨论了大学毕业生和高中毕业生之间结婚率的差异,因此,作者想要说明的问题是结婚率的下降也带有明显的阶级特色。因此正确答案选[C]。
