问题     In 2014, many shoppers opted to avoid the【C1】________ crowds and do their holiday shopping from the comfort of their computer. Sales at online retailers gained by more than 15％. But people are also returning those purchases at record rates, up 8％ from last year.
    What went wrong? Is the【C2】________ shadow of the global financial crisis making it harder to accept extravagant indulgences? Or do people shop more【C3】________ —and therefore make bad decisions—when online? Both arguments are plausible. However, there is a third factor: a question of touch. We can love the look but, in an online environment, we cannot feel the quality of a texture, the shape of the fit or the weight of an earring. And【C4】________ interacting with an object makes you more committed to your purchase.
    When my book brand washed was released, I conducted an experiment about the differences between the online and offline shopping. I carefully instructed a group of volunteers to promote my book in two different ways. The first was a【C5】________ hands-off approach. Whenever a customer would inquire about my book, the volunteer would take them over to the shelf and point to it. Out of 20 such requests, six customers【C6】________ with the purchase.
    The second option also【C7】________ going over to the shelf but, this time, removing the book and then subtly【C8】________ onto it for just an extra moment before placing it in the customer’s hands. Of the 20 people who were handed the book, 13【C9】________ up buying it. Just physically passing the book showed a big difference in sales. Why? We feel something similar to a sense of【C10】________ when we hold things in our hand. In this case, having to then let go of the book after holding it might generate a subtle sense of loss, and motivate us to make the purchase even more.
    A. proceeded      B. randomly      C. ownership      D. impulsively
    E. ended          F. fulfillment   G. fairly         H. frenetic
    I. preceded       J. holding       K. physically     L. lingering
    M. excited        N. involved      O. handing
【C5】
选项
答案G
解析 上下文题。根据词性，此处可填入形容词修饰approach或副词修饰hands of根据下文对这种方式的描述“Whenever a customer would inquire about my book，the volunteer would take them over to the shelf and point to it．”可见这种方法中手是完全触碰不到书本的，因此，答案为fairly“完全地，简直”。
