What’s most surprising is that 36% of them live in【C9】________where at least one adult is working. "It used to be that one job was all you needed," says St. Andrew’s Drane.

选项

答案J

解析 从句子结构分析,介词of后应用名词作其宾语,故此处需填入名词。词组in the wake of意为“随着…而来,作为……的结果”,即上下文意为“随着________的到来,需要食品援助的家庭数最开始增长”,可推断应该是经济状况不佳,因此选recession(经济不景气)。
