问题 There was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would 【B1】______ stand up and offer her his seat. No more, though. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or if he feels a bit【B2】______, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else【B3】______.
You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners, though. The days are gone when women could be referred to as the weaker sex without causing【B4】______. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in【B5】______ attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as【B6】______, unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably【B7】______ paying her share of the bill, though on second thought perhaps that’s not such a bad idea.
It’s no wonder, then, that men have【B8】______ some of the automatic gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, automatic male politeness is perhaps slowly being【B9】______ by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings, rather than as sex-objects or【B10】______ property. [br] 【B4】

选项

答案 offense／offence

解析此处需要名词，作causing的宾语。offense“冒犯，得罪”，也可写成offence。
