“Come, now I will show you 5 .” The Lord said after a while. They entered another room, similar 6 the first—the pot of meat, the group of people, the same long-handle spoons. 7 there everyone was happy, healthy and satisfied.

(答案→)1. where。
解析：
1. where。空格后为一个定语从句，用以修饰名词room；由于先行词表地点，故用where来引导定语从句。
2. held。根据上下文可知，此句应用一般过去时。
3. than。根据其前的longer可知，其后应填空than。
4. that。此处的that与前面的so构成so…that…句式。
5. heaven。根据第一句A man spoke with the Lord about heaven and hell可知，前面看过了hell，所以现在要去看heaven。
6. to。similar to为英语惯用搭配，意为“与……相似”。
7. But。前后意思转折，故用but。
8. Why。询问原因，故用why。
9. same。根据上下文可知，此处填same，与前面出现的similar呼应。
10. other。与each构成搭配，feed each other 意为“彼此喂食”。
