    New York’s Attorney General’s office【C6】________an investigation in the fall into whether or not Verizon, Cablevision and Time Warner are delivering broadband that’s as fast as the providers【C7】________ it is. Earlier this month, the office asked for the public’s help to measure their speed results, saying consumers【C8】________to get the speeds they were promised. "Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another," the Attorney General said.
    If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldn’t be the first time a telecom provider got into【C9】________over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers. Back in June, the Federal Communications Commission fined AT&T $100 million over【C10】________that the carrier secretly reduced wireless speeds after customers consumed a certain amount of【C11】________.
    Even when they stay on the right side of the law, Internet providers arouse customers’ anger over bandwidth speed and cost. Just this week, an investigation found that media and telecom giant Comcast is the most【C12】________provider. Over 10 months, Comcast received nearly 12,000 customer complaints, many【C13】________to its monthly data cap and overage charges.
    Some Americans are getting so【C14】________with Internet providers they’re just giving up. A recent study found that the number of Americans with high-speed Internet at home today【C15】________fell during the last two years, and 15% of people now consider themselves to be "cord-cutters".

选项
答案M
解析 空格位于介词。into之后，应填入名词。本句意为：如果该调查有所发现的话，这也不会是电信服务商第一次因为其承诺的宽带速度和实际提供给顾客的网速不一致而陷入________中。结合本段第二句美国电话电报公司被罚款的例子可知，如果该调查有所发现，第二段提到的这几家公司肯定会遭受麻烦，故选M。
