问题     Standing alone at the Browns’ party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind’s eye. He was a thin man, forty - one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they’d been married he had changed very little: he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish. She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic(神级机能病的)about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist(精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edward’s pleading(恳求). In the Browns’ rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming(发微光)with a metallic(金属般的)surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband. In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three -quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised. The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul in the room. When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed.
What made Anna feel inadequate?

选项 A、She did not make a good mother to her children.
B、She was unable to satisfy her husband’s desire to have children.
C、She did not get along well with her husband.
D、She was unable to have a better understanding of her husband.

答案B
