Although all book towns have a great number of bookshops, that’s where the similarities 13 .
答案：(C) end
that's where the similarities end 是固定說法，意為「相似之處就到此為止」，呼應下一句各書鎮各有特色；form（形成）方向相反，count（計算、重要）、matter（重要）都無法與 that's where 構成這個說法。

end 你大概只記得「結束」，腦中畫面是時間或事件（The meeting ended at five.）。這裡結束的卻是 the similarities——講的是「兩者像到哪裡為止」。
that's where the similarities ___：similarities 是主詞，空格是它的動詞。四個選項都是動詞，比的是語意。
Each of these towns shows unique features of its own.——unique 與 similarities 語意相反，作者用它畫出界線：相似到此為止，再往下都是差異。
名詞是「端點」，95 年那題的 make ends meet 就是讓收入與支出兩端碰在一起；本題是動詞：走到端點。
form（形成）方向相反；count 與 matter 都是「重要」，語意不合。
That's where…ends（…到此為止）、come to an end（結束）、end up（最終落得）、have a lot in common（有許多共同點）。
