Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead,【C2】______there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed.【C3】______it is with happiness.

There are a great many people who have all the【C9】______conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who,【C10】______. are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the【C11】______must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one【C12】______. we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong.

选项
A、favorable
B、suitable
C、preferable
D、vulnerable
答案
A
