    Parents should further limit children’s【S8】______to windows by moving dressers, beds and tables away from the openings; many kids fell through a window they accessed by climbing onto furniture. It’s also important to be【S9】______watchful when the weather is warm since that’s when windows tend to be open.

选项
答案E
解析 prevent sb．from doing sth．是固定短语，意为“阻止某人做某事”，因此空格处缺少与prevents搭配的动词现在分词形式。此句意为：形成一个屏障，防止儿童 出来。因此，答案为crawling“爬”，crawl out意为“爬出”。slip out意为“无意中说出(或泄露)；悄悄溜走”，用在这里不符合语义。
