A New York Times-CBS News poll found that almost 90 percent of Americans think that homeownership is an important part of the American dream. But only 7 percent of Americans【C1】______ranked homeownership as their first or second definition of the American dream. Why the【C2】______? Owning real estate is important to some Americans, but not as important—or as【C3】______rewarding—as we’re led to believe.
Federal support of homeownership greatly overvalues its meaning in American life. Through tax breaks and guarantees, the government【C4】______homeownership to its peak in 2004, when 69 percent of American households owned homes. Subsidies for homeownership,【C5】______the mortgage(抵押)interest deduction, reached $230 billion in 2009, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Meanwhile, only $ 60 billion in tax breaks and spending programs【C6】______renters.
The result of this real estate spending craze? According to the Federal Reserve, American real estate lost more than $ 6 trillion in【C7】______, or almost 30 percent, between 2006 and 2010. One in five American homeowners is underwater, owing more on a mortgage than what the home is【C8】______.
Those who profit most from homeownership are definitely the largest source of political campaign【C9】______. Insurance companies, securities and investment firms, real estate interests, and commercial banks gave more than $ 100 million to federal candidates and parties in 2011, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Homeownership is more important to【C10】______interests than it is to most Americans, who, according to the research, care more about "a good job" , "the pursuit of happiness" and "freedom".
A)aided I)including

选项
答案
I
解析
空格所在句中主语为Subsidies,谓语为reached,句子成分完整,故推测此处应填入非谓语动词作状语。空格前面提到政府给予房产补贴,后面提到有哪些方面的补贴,故推测此处应填入including“包括……”。
