those on either side of marriage—twenty something professionals
or widowed senior citizens. While pensioners, particularly
elderly women, making up a large proportion of those【S1】______

on their 30s and 40s who increasingly view living alone as a lifestyle【S3】______

along the idea of singles. They were young, beautiful, strong!
Now, young people want to live alone.

"I have deadlines which would make life with someone else fair【S7】______

选项
答案
since—while
