Over 13 stories, Mr Burnside shows the versatility of the condensed【C7】______. His stories take place mostly in Scotland, in flats "high up on the third floor of an apartment block in the middle of Dundee" or in the back room of a hardware shop,【C8】______men drink "sweet, milky coffee"【C9】______waiting for the results of the races. His men carry knives or conduct extramarital【C10】______; his women are often【C11】______housewives who drink, take up bell-ringing in their local church or fantasise about younger men【C12】______a way of filling in time.
Happiness is the subject that【C13】______the collection together. In other hands, this could become sentimental.【C14】______Mr Burnside, with only a few【C15】______, never allows that to happen.

选项
A、challenges
B、favors
C、demonstrates
D、suggests
答案
A
解析
空格下一句的shows versatility of…是对John Burnside的褒奖,结合前文说短篇小说的复兴,故推断这里说的是对前文提及的成见(写短篇小说只是个试验)的不认同,故选A项challenges“挑战”。
