问题    Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. Theories 【C1】______ on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior 【C2】______ they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through 【C3】______ with others. Theories focusing on the role of society that children commit crimes in 【C4】______ to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status 【C5】______ as a rejection of middle-class values.
Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from disadvantaged families, ignoring the fact that children from 【C6】______ homes also commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes 【C7】______ lack of adequate parental control. All theories, however, are tentative and are 【C8】______ to criticism.

【C15】

选项 A、that
B、which
C、than
D、what

答案C

解析语法结构题。从上下句所提示的信息来看，如果选that或者which就表示less supervision在传统的家庭中common，这显然是不正确的；而选what不符合语法；从less以及后边的 common、traditional family等几个提示线索的呼应关系就可以判断出前后是比较的关系，所以最佳选项是C。
