    Australian National University researchers looked at how various psychosocial work attributes affect(6)______.

选项 A、Given
B、Supposing
C、Provided
D、Now
答案A
解析 语法题。此处引导一个原因状语从句，作为后面主句的原因，所以选Given that“考虑到，鉴于”。Supposing that“假定”和Provided that“假若”，均用于引导条件状语从句，不符合此处的语境，可以排除；Now that“既然，由于”，也是引导原因状语从句，但是通常now that要引出一个现在正在发生的新情况，比如Now that everyone is here，let’s start work．现在人都齐了，咱们开始干吧。所以该选项也可排除。
