问题 It can be inferred from the passage that accidental-death damage awards in America during the nineteenth century tended to be based principally on the______
It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following statements was true of American families over the course of the nineteenth century?

选项 A、The average size of families grew considerably
B、The percentage of families involved in industrial work declined dramatically.
C、Family members became more emotionally bonded to one another.
D、Family members spent an increasing amount of time working with each other.
E、Family members became more economically dependent on each other.

答案C

解析 C is the best answer. In the third paragraph, the author cites Zelizer’s contention that the new view of childhood that developed in nineteenth-century America was due in part to “the development of the companionate family (a family in which members were united by explicit bonds of love rather than duty)”(lines 54-58). From this it can be inferred that the emotional bonds between family members became increasingly important during this period. There are no information in the passage to support the other answer choices.
