    "You need an apartment alone even if it’s over a garage," declared Helen Gurley Brown in her 1962 bestseller "Sex and the Single Girl". To Brown, solo living afforded the【C1】______ to cultivate the self, furnish the mind and work late, and so on. Young women should enjoy their best years without a【C2】______, she advised, as this not only laid the foundation for stronger marriages but gave them a lifestyle to fall back on【C3】______ they found themselves alone again.
    Sensational at the time, Brown’s counsel seems【C4】______ now. Certainly both sexes have taken it to heart, marrying later, divorcing【C5】______ and living alone in larger numbers than ever before. Yet little is known about the wider social effects of this unprecedented boom, writes Eric Klinenberg, a sociologist at New York University. His new book "Going Solo" offers a【C6】______ look at the lures and perils of living alone.
    Mr Klinenberg parts with those who see the rise of solo living as yet another【C7】______ of the decline of civic society.

Young adults view it as a rite of passage, a period of personal growth before possibly settling down. Its cultural acceptance has helped to【C9】______ women from bad marriages and oppressive families,【C10】______ them a space to return to civic life.
    And as elderly adults live longer than ever before, often without a partner, many hope to stay independent for as long as possible.

选项
答案C
解析 “divorcing——”与空格后living alone并列，因此推测空格处填入与alone词性一致的副词。根据上下文的语境，现在提倡的是单身、更晚结婚及独居，因此可以说人们的婚姻观更开放，故选readily，填入文中表示“更容易离婚”。
