especially in Central and Eastern Europe that Gypsies form up to【S4】______
10% of population(Bulgaria, Slovakia, Romania). Discriminating【S5】______
against under communism, their plight has dramatically worsened
since 1990s.

poverty.

persecutions—like Jews during World War II, or blacks in South
Africa—its cause has received international support. By contrast,【S8】______

选项
答案 Thus—Yet／However
解析 衔接副词误用。上一段讲述吉普赛人的悲惨遭遇，本句说吉普赛人幸存下来，并且变成欧洲最大的少数民族，可见上下文是转折关系，不是因果关系。
