问题 Paragraph One advises the working wife who is more successful than her husband to______.
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。
