Publishers will lose a showcase for their books, which could mean more laid-off editors. Yet the problem is not the 【C2】______: writers will still scribble for scraps. Nor demand: American book publishers reported 【C3】______ across all platforms last year. It is just that no one is making money.
The business needs fresh ideas. Enter Unbound, a British effort to "crowd-fund" books. Visitors to its website can pledge money for a book that is only【C4】______.

答案

解析
空格前的定冠词the提示空格处应填入名词。空格后的writers will still scribble for scraps“作家们仍会为点小钱而奋笔疾书”说的是书的“供给”,因此词库中的supply“供给”符合语境。
