Clue: "Is it worth reading books,_____ nowadays there are so many other forms of entertainment?"
Phân tích: Về mặt ngữ pháp, không thể điền "in" hay "why" vào chỗ trống. Còn "or" cũng không phù hợp vì hai vế không có mối quan hệ tương đương (hoặc cái này hoặc cái kia). Chỉ có "since" là phù hợp nhất vì nó dùng để kể ra nguyên nhân. Nên đáp án đúng là D. since.
Tạm dịch: Vì ngày nay đã có quá nhiều hình thức giải trí rồi, liệu việc đọc sách có còn có ích không?
