Boys (1)_____ about 85% of all youth homicides, and in those cases about 90% (2)_____ a pattern in which the line from bad parenting and bad (3)_____ to murder is usually clear.

选项 A、avoid
B、accept
C、eliminate
D、create
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。前一句意为：有社交技能的聪明孩子很善于对父母隐藏他们的真实行为。他们这样做是为了逃避惩罚，或逃避被认为是"疯子"。从句中的escape being identified as crazy可以很容易推出前面是"逃避惩罚"之意。accept意为"接受，认可"，显然孩子是不想受到惩罚，因此隐藏自己的真实行为，而不可能是为了接受惩罚；eliminate意为"消除，淘汰"，根据常识可知，有权取消惩罚措施的是父母，不是孩子，因此孩子这样做的目的不是为了取消惩罚；create意为"创造，创建"，根据常理，孩子会躲避惩罚，而不是自己要求受罚，故create不当。
