    Screenwriters don’t have a boss to report to, which brings into【C7】______Redelmeier’s second explanation, the "party-hearty hypothesis."

    A longevity B. flourish C. apt D. sometimes
    E. tracked F. respected G. account H. miracle
    I. occupation J. puzzling K. stress L. consequence
    M. internal N. fairly O. restrained
【C10】

答案D
解析 此处应为副词，作may lead to…的状语。根据may这个情态动词可以推断作者的态度并不坚决，因此只有sometimes最合适。
