    Women were affected more than men. Dr. Scott suspected cultural norms might be at play: women are more【C10】______expressive in social intercourse, he said, so hiding emotions may create more strain. Research suggests that an inauthentic smile to hide unhappiness can further worsen your mood.

选项
答案I
解析 动词辨析题。空格所在从句为when引导的状语从句，整 个从句缺少谓语。空格前有从句的主语the drivers，后面有宾语之一fake smiling(另一个宾语为its opposite)，说明空格处缺少谓语动词，并且该词 能够和介词in搭配。根据主句时态，此处要填入一个动词的过去式， engaged符合句意，engaged in(doing)sth．意为“参与某事，参加某事”。
