The word that best complete the gap 2 is:
By Sally Kane, About.com Guide
Born in the mid-1980's and later, Generation Y legal professionals are in their 20s and are just entering the workforce. With numbers estimated as high as 70 million, Generation Y (also -1- as the Millennials) is the fastest growing segment of today's workforce. As law firms compete for available talent, employers cannot ignore the needs, desires and attitudes of this vast generation. Below are a few common traits that define Generation Y.
Tech-Savvy: Generation Y grew up with technology and rely on it to perform their jobs better. Armed with BlackBerrys, laptops, cellphones and other gadgets, Generation Y is plugged-in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This generation prefers to communicate through e-mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and -2- webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based presentations.
Family-Centric: The fast-track has lost much of its appeal for Generation Y who is willing to trade high pay for fewer billable hours, flexible schedules and a better work/life balance. While older generations may view this attitude as narcissistic or lacking commitment, discipline and drive, Generation Y legal professionals have a different vision of workplace expectations and prioritize family over work.
Achievement-Oriented: Nurtured and pampered -3- parents who did not want to make the mistakes of the previous generation, Generation Y is confident, ambitious and achievement-oriented. They have high expectations of their employers, seek out new challenges and are not afraid to question authority. Generation Y wants meaningful work and a solid learning curve
Team-Oriented: As children, Generation Y participated in team sports, play groups and other group activities. They value teamwork and seek the input and affirmation of others. Part of a no-person-left-behind generation, Generation Y is loyal, committed and wants to be included and involved.
Attention-Craving: Generation Y craves attention in the forms of feedback and guidance. They appreciate being kept in the loop and seek frequent praise and reassurance. Generation Y may benefit greatly from mentors who can help guide and develop their young careers.

Alternativa Correta: E - prefers
A questão pede para completar a lacuna 2 do texto, que descreve as características da Geração Y. A lacuna está no trecho: "This generation prefers to communicate through e-mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and -2- webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based presentations."
Vamos analisar a alternativa correta e as demais opções:
Alternativa E: prefers
A forma correta é "prefers" porque o sujeito da frase é "This generation", que é um substantivo singular. Em inglês, verbos no presente simples tomam uma forma especial quando o sujeito é a terceira pessoa do singular (he, she, it). Portanto, usamos "prefers" para concordar com "this generation".
Alternativas Incorretas:
Alternativa A: will prefer
Embora "will prefer" seja gramaticalmente correto, o tempo verbal não se encaixa no contexto do texto, que está descrevendo características gerais e atuais da Geração Y, não ações futuras.
Alternativa B: preferred
"Preferred" está no passado, e o texto está descrevendo as características atuais e gerais da Geração Y, portanto, o uso do tempo presente é mais apropriado.
Alternativa C: preference
"Preference" é um substantivo, enquanto a lacuna exige um verbo para que a frase faça sentido gramatical e semanticamente.
Alternativa D: prefer
Embora "prefer" esteja no presente, ele não concorda com o sujeito singular "This generation". A forma correta é "prefers".
Concluindo, a alternativa E é a que corretamente completa a frase de acordo com as regras gramaticais e o contexto apresentado no texto.

This generation prefers to communicate through e-mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and prefers webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based presentations.
The missing verb should take the third singular person inflection in the present tense as it helps fill in for a factual occurrance that takes place on a daily basis. The -s ending is necessary as a way to distinguish it from the other grammatical instances.
Simple present tense- present simples é usado para fatos. o final -s é necessário para a declinação para 3° pessoa do singular.
