    Lawyers are less than 1% of American adults,【C1】________ they are well-represented in government. Both the president and the vice-president trained as lawyers. So did 55% of senators and 100% of Supreme Court justices. There are【C2】________ to having a bit of legal expertise among those who write and【C3】________ the nation’s laws, or assess their constitutionality. But there is also a potential conflict of interest. If florists had such a lock on the levers of power, you might expect subsidies for weddings and a campaign to beautify cities. Lawyers, alas, are no more【C4】________.
    The American legal system is the most lawyer-friendly on Earth. It is dizzily【C5】________. The regulations that accompany the Dodd-Frank law governing Wall Street, for example, are already more than 3 million words long—and not yet half-written.

None of this is nice for the people【C10】________. especially those with large student debts.
【C3】
选项
答案E
解析 空格处应填入动词与write并列，并与laws构成动宾搭配。本句的those who对应前面出身于律师、在政府各机关任职的官员，他们应该是编写和“执行”法律的人，词库中的execute“执行”符合语境要求。
