问题 Paragraph One advises the working wife who is more successful than her husband to______. [br] Which of the following words is used literally, NOT metaphorically?

选项 A、Abrasive (Paragraph Five).
B、Engines (Paragraph Four).
C、Convention (Paragraph Two).
D、Heavily (Paragraph One).

答案 C

解析 在第1段中的"the wife…must rely heavily on her husband for help with domestic tasks"中,heavily一词取"很大程度上,过分地"之意,非本义;在第4段中的"If she shows interest the engines of persuasion are set in movement"中,作者将"说服过程"比喻成"engines";在第5段中的"it is this that makes inferiority at work abrasive and,more indirectly,makes domestic work seem unmanly"中的"abrasive"作"苛薄的"讲,非本义,由此可以排除A,B和D。四个选项中只有convention一词取的是本义,在"Unemployment has not changed this convention,which on the face of it seems a little unfair"中作"常规,约定"讲。
