Nearly half of the organisations told researchers they were 【C1】______ struggling to find staff with skills in science, technology, engineering and maths  (STEM), while even more companies expect to experience 【C2】______ of employees with STEM skills in the next three years.
   The Confederation of British Industry 【C3】______ 694 businesses and organisations across the public and private sectors, which together employ 2.4 million people.

选项
答案F
解析 The research worries about．．．语义不通，因此句中worries不是动词，而是名词。空格所在句缺谓语，此研究是过去做的，故空格应填入动词过去式。由下一句中的expressed worries和reported concerns可知，对基本技能的提升缺乏进展的担忧是该研究要突出的方面，highlighted“强调，突出”符合上下文语义，故选F。focused后接介词on才能表示“聚焦于，集中在”，故可排除。
