Then with the prosperity 【C2】______ by the Second World War and the economic boom that followed, young people married and 【C3】______ households earlier and began to 【C4】______ larger families than had their 【C5】______ during the Depression.

选项
A、creek
B、flood
C、torment
D、torrent
答案
B
解析
名词语义题。根据句意(见上题),creek指“小溪”,气势不够;torment表示“痛苦”,不合题意; torrent表示“急流,狂风大雨”,强调凶险。flood则表示气势恢宏,连绵不绝,强调量大。因此选 B 。
