There【C13】______was a marriage gap in 1960: only four percentage points separated the wedded ways of college and high-school graduates(76% versus 72%).

A Census Bureau analysis released this spring found that brides are significantly more【C15】______to have a college degree than they were in the mid-1990s.
" Marriage has become much more【C16】______, and that’s why the divorce rate has come down," said Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

答案
C
解析
account是英语里的一个基本词汇,既可作名词,也可作动词,词义也非常多。作动词的时候往往和for连用,account for有两个意思,第一个意思表示“占……比例”,横线处就是这个用法,例如:Afro一Americans account for 12%of the US population.非洲裔美国人占美国总人口的12%。第二个意思是“为……作解释”,例如:Recent pressure at work may account for his behavior.最近工作压力大可能导致了他的这一行为。
