A true cashless society, 【C1】______, is probably not around the corner.

Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of "float" — it takes several days before a check is cashed and funds are【C7】______from the issuer’s account, which means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime.

B
解析
trail,上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。可选范围是trail“痕迹”,path“路径”,lane“小路”,且根据上下文描述,电子付费方式存在的忧虑之一:会留下包含大量个人信息的痕迹。根据此语义阐释,故选trail。
