    Organic foods were neither cheaper nor more【S9】_____than conventional food, nor were they more convenient to acquire. The early organic consumers were more【S10】_____to be labeled as "counter-cultural" than as "trend setters". Those who chose organic foods obviously were expressing a different food ethic. Farmers’ markets, community supported agriculture organizations, and other means of direct food marketing have experienced growth rates similar to those for organic foods.

B)likely J)possible
C)but K)value
D)emphasize L)affect

选项
答案F
解析 短语neither…nor…要求使用平衡结构，neither后为形容词比较级，nor后面一定也是形容词比较级。空格所在句句意为“有机食品与传统食品相比，既不便宜也不——，购买也不方便。”根据句意，attractive“有吸引力的”意思最为合适。
