    Commuters have a 40 per cent greater risk of ending up divorced, according to a university study. Those who spend a long time on trains or were【C1】______ in cars shuttling to the office are up to 40 per cent more likely to【C2】______ from their spouse. The risk is highest in the first few years when the dream of life together gives way to the daily【C3】______.
    Experts said that if one partner spends 45 minutes or more commuting they would come home too 【C4】______ to help around the house. This would create a breeding ground for【C5】______ that would leave the other person feeling like they are being taken for granted.
    The Swedish study looked at statistical data from two million Swedish households. The researchers from Umea University cited the figure of 45 minutes as the kind of commute which could do【C6】______ to relationships.
    They found that in families where the man commutes, the woman is often forced to take a less qualified job closer to home, which means both less money as well as a【C7】______ share of the family responsibility.
    "This means they have less time to help out with the【C8】______ chores. The commuting partner might feel like he shouldn’t have to【C9】______ equal responsibility around the home【C10】______ he’s putting in the long hours back and forth to work." Jean Hannah Edelstein, a relationships expert, said.
【C3】
选项
答案O
解析 give way to sth．为固定搭配，意为“让位于……”，因此空格处应填入名词。由下文提到的家庭责任、分担家务，可知空格所在处说的是对婚姻生活的梦想要让位于日常琐事。备选项中grind符合语义，the daily grind指“日常工作”，与下文提到韵chores呼应。
