Which of the following words is used literally, NOT metaphorically?
A.Abrasive (Paragraph Five).
B.Engines (Paragraph Four).
C.Convention (Paragraph Two).
D.Heavily (Paragraph One).请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:C
解析:在第1段中的"thewife…mustrelyheavilyonherhusbandforhelpwithdomestictasks"中,heavily一词取"很大程度上,过分地"之意,非本义;在第4段中的"Ifsheshowsinteresttheenginesofpersuasionaresetinmovement"中,作者将"说服过程"比喻成"engines";在第5段中的"itisthisthatmakesinferiorityatworkabrasiveand,moreindirectly,makesdomesticworkseemunmanly"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"Unemploymenthasnotchangedthisconvention,whichonthefaceofitseemsalittleunfair"中作"常规,约定"讲。
