The group compared people’s use of " function words" which【C3】______carry any meaning on their own,【C4】______ help build context in conversations. Content words, such as nouns, adjectives and verbs, carry an【C5】______ meaning. Function words, on the other hand, vary in their use and help provide reference points in conversations.【C6】______, words like "the," " that" and " of"【C7】______ act as function words.
The researchers conducted two experiments to measure language similarities. One setup【C8】______ 40 speed dating sessions among college students,【C9】______ the couples’ conversations were recorded and transcribed for【C10】______. 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. The researchers found that couples that used function words similarly tended to still be together【C13】______.
Three months after the data were【C14】______, the team discovered that 76 percent of couples【C15】______ similar language styles were still together compared to 53 percent of other couples that【C16】______similar styles of speech.
The findings suggest that romantic compatibility may not depend【C17】______ on saying the right things but rather whether they’re said in a【C18】______way.

【C17】
选项
A、wholly
B、solely
C、truly
D、surely
答案
B
解析
副词辨析题。句意为:这些发现表明情侣间能否和谐相处可能不仅仅依赖于说适当的话,而且也依赖于他们是否以相似的方式说出这些话。根据句中的关联词呼应关系,后文中使用了butrather,故此处应使用only或其同义词,以与depend之前的not搭配,只有solely符合上述分析,为正确选项。wholly“完全地”、truly“真实地”、surely“的确地”均不符合上下文语境,故排除。
