In other cases, though, the seeds of marital【C1】______ are not only easier to see but they may be planted even before the honeymoon bills come【C2】______ According to UCLA psychologist Thomas

【C3】
选项
答案J
解析 此处需填入不及物动词第三人称单数形式，作a newlywed的谓语动词。根据when从句所讲的“当配偶遇到个人问题时”，可推测这里是讲夫妻俩在对方遇到问题时的行为表现。reacts意为“做出反应”，符合上下文语义和句法要求。
