Men have a hard time admitting failure because ______.
According to the passage, what is "hassle-prevention lying" (Line 2,Para 4)?
选项
A、A person tells barefaced lie.
B、A person lies to avoid a face-to-face dispute.
C、The lies a person tells can prevent him from harm.
D、A person tells lies to allay his anger.
答案
B
解析
词义推测题。由上下文来判断。文章第四段第一句指出,男人撒谎有时是为了避免某种局面 (to avoid a scene),然后作者说正是在这种"hassle-prevention lying"中男人体现了极大的能耐。接下来作者又举了一个例子:一个男人通过撒谎避免了与女友的一场争吵。由此可以推断出,hassle-prevention lying就是指为避免(面对面的)争吵的撒谎,选[B]。
