Around two billion people have no access to modern energy, and a billion have it only 【C1】______. The smoky stoves that many of them use, the World Health Organisation reckons, produce pollution that【C2】______ around 2 million premature deaths a year. Makeshift cookers also catch fire easily. And lives are not the only things【C3】______. Women and girls in rural villages lose time and energy walking around【C4】______ dirty solid fuels, ranging from crop waste to cow dung.
The【C5】______ of a stove that produces more heat, more cleanly and with less fuel is clear.

选项
答案
B
解析
空格处应填入形容词或动词分词作后置定语,修饰things。此处意为“生命不是唯一……的东西”。下文提到“农村中的妇女和女孩失去(lose)时间和精力……”,因此空格处应填入与lose“失去”近义的词,词库中的wasted“被浪费的”符合旬意。
