I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner【C6】______whether they were "good for it."

选项
A、generous
B、honest
C、friendly
D、modest
答案
B
解析
本题考查形容词词义辨析:generous的意思是“大方的、慷慨的”,honest的意思是“诚实的、讲信用的”,friendly的意思是“友好的、热情的”,modest的意思是“谦虚的”:根据文章的意思,作者认为自己家很讲信用,因为后面他说他们每次的借款都会还。所以本题的正确答案为B。
