If you are introduced to a woman called Pearl S. Buck, what should you usually call her?
选项 A、Mrs. Pearl.
B、Miss Pearl S.

答案C
解析 根据Addressing People中的“Use last names with people you do not know. Always use‘Ms. ’when addressing women. ”可知，称呼陌生人要使用姓氏；如果是称呼女士，总是要用“Ms. ”(女士)来称呼。由此可推知，应该称呼Pearl S. Buck为Ms. Buck。故选C。
