He cared deeply for the poor, and particularly【C4】______ to children. He brought various gifts, money and other useful items to the houses of the poor. He did this at night, and in【C5】______ , so that no one knew,【C6】______ he wanted no glory, he just wanted to help people. He became widely known for his generosity.

选项
A、villa
B、hut
C、room
D、garden
答案
B
解析
名词辨义题。从miserable一词可以推断出房屋条件应该是简陋的,且前文也有对三姐妹生活艰苦的描述。hut意为“小屋,棚屋”,符合三姐妹的经济状况。故B 项正确。
