Not everyone sees that process in【C8】______It is important to do so.

【C4】

选项 A、process
B、company
C、light
D、form

答案B

解析 文章相关部分是newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic medium,following inthe wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the 94 of the periodical,从结构上来看,现在分词结构following in the wake of和介词短语in the 94 of是并列成分,都做主句的伴随状语,newspaper,pamphlet and book.periodical也是三个平行的部分,它们之间的关系是通过in the wake of和in the 94 of两个部分来体现的。分词结构following inthe wake of...意为随着宣传册和书的出现以后,体现了时间上的先后。因此空格处的动词构成的短语既需要与分词结构表并列含义,又需要体现newspaper和periodical之间的时间关系。四个选项从意义上来看,只有B符合。
