On average, fathers spoke less than mothers did, but they did not differ in the length of utterances or proportion of questions asked.
   Finally, the researchers 【C5】______ the children’ s speech at age 3, using a standardized language test. The only predictors of high scores on the test were the mother’s level of education, the【C6】______of child care and the number of different words the father used.
   The researchers are【C7】______why the father’s speech, and not the mother’s, had an effect.
   "It’s well 【C8】______ that the mother’s language does have an impact," said Nadya Panc-sofar, the lead author of the study. It could be that the high-functioning mothers in the study had【C9】______had a strong influence on their children’ s speech development, Ms. Panc-sofar said, "or it may be that mothers are【C10】______in a way we didn ’t measure in the study."
   A) already B) analyzed C) aspects D) characters
   E) contributing F) describing G) established H) quality
   I) quoted J) recording K) recruited L) total
   M) unconscious N) unsure O) yet
【C4】
