选项 A、that is
B、such as
C、for example
D、at last

答案C

解析 逻辑衔接题。本句破折号后面的部分意为:自己的孩子或者幻想杀人,或者他真的这样去做。再从破折号前面部分"不管怎么说,有多少父母能够把自己的儿子往最坏处想"来看,破折号后的内容是对前面内容的举例说明,因此选用for example。that is意为"即,换句话说",这个短语表示后面内容和前面内容意思一样,只不过表述不同而已。本句中,后面内容和前面内容意思不一致,前面是概述,后面是具体内容,显然that is不合适。Such as可以表示举例,但与for example不同的是,这个短语直接与前面连接,无需用逗号或破折号隔开;at last意为"最终,终于",表示最后的结果,显然不符合句子语义关系。
