   An Indian physician named Mandeep Mehra believes that Lisa Gherardini, or the muse to Da Vinci’s timeless creation, was sick. Mehra’s study that reveals the medical diagnosis of the reasons behind the【C2】______of Mona Lisa has been published in the journal of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. As【C3】______by Dr. Mehra, "I don’t know how to appreciate art, but I sure do know how to make a clinical diagnosis.

Due to this condition, she had a very evident lump in her neck, a(n)【C5】______hairline, a yellowish tint to her skin and a half-lopsided smile on her face.

In addition to that, it is believed that her lopsided smile can be【C10】______to a significant disability that is the result of muscle weakness.
   A) acute I) exposed

选项
答案F
解析 空格出现在that引导的定语从句中，先行词diets在从句中充当主语，从句缺少谓语，时态为过去时，因此推测空格处应填入动词的过去式，且能和介词of搭配，故填入F)consisted，表示“由……组成”。
