The group compared people’s use of " function words" which【C3】______carry any meaning on their own,【C4】______ help build context in conversations.

The study’s authors found that people who used function words similarly were more【C11】______to express romantic interest in seeing one another in the future. A second experiment measured the use of function words in the online chats of 86 couples over the【C12】______ of 10 days.

选项
A、survey
B、analysis
C、record
D、finding
答案
B
解析
名词辨析题。句意同上。介词for之后说明收集研究数据的目的,此目的显然是进行相关分析,以期得出研究发现或结论,故选择analysis“分析”。survey“调查”、record“记录”、findings“发现”均不符合上下文语境,排除。
