The group compared people’s use of " function words" which【C3】______carry any meaning on their own,【C4】______ help build context in conversations.

Function words, on the other hand, vary in their use and help provide reference points in conversations.【C6】______, words like "the," " that" and " of"【C7】______ act as function words.

The study’s authors found that people who used function words similarly were more【C11】______to express romantic interest in seeing one another in the future. A second experiment measured the use of function words in the online chats of 86 couples over the【C12】______ of 10 days. The researchers found that couples that used function words similarly tended to still be together【C13】______.

选项
A、detectible
B、reasonable
C、relatable
D、feasible
答案
C
解析
形容词辨析题。句意同上。根据前文信息,是否具有相似的语言风格对情侣间的关系有很重要的作用,因此所选形容词应为similar的近义词,只有relatable“相关的”符合。detectible“可发觉的”、reasonable“合理的”以及feasible“可行的”均不符合上下文语境,故排除。
