Over 13 stories, Mr Burnside shows the versatility of the condensed【C7】______. His stories take place mostly in Scotland, in flats "high up on the third floor of an apartment block in the middle of Dundee" or in the back room of a hardware shop,【C8】______men drink "sweet, milky coffee"【C9】______waiting for the results of the races.

选项
A、acquire
B、earn
C、reach
D、meet
答案
C
解析
空格处填入动词与bestseller lists(畅销书单)构成动宾搭配,句中的主语few others指few other collections(很少其他故事集),而书籍一般是“登上”畅销书的行列,故选C项reach“到达”合适。
