问题 The popular notion about marriage and love is that they are
synonymous, that they spring from the same motives, and cover the
same human needs. Therefore, like most popular notions this also【M1】______
rests not on actual facts, but on superstition. It is utterly false that
love results from marriage. On rare occasions one does hear a【M2】______
miraculous case of a married couple falling in love after marriage, but
on close examination it will be found that it is a merely adjustment to【M3】______
the inevitable. Certainly the growing—used to each other is far away
from the spontaneity, the intensity, and beauty of love, without which
the intimacy of marriage must prove degrading to both the woman
and the man. Marriage is primarily an economical arrangement, an【M4】______
insurance pact. It differs from the ordinary life insurance agreement
only in that it is more binding, more exacting. Its returns are
significantly small compared with the investments. In taking out an【M5】______
insurance policy one pays for it with dollars and cents, always【M6】______
in liberty to discontinue payments. If, however, woman’s premium is【M7】______
a husband, she pays for it with her name, her privacy, her self-respect,
her very life, "until death doth part". Moreover, the marriage
insurance condemns her to life-long independency, to parasitism, to【M8】______
complete uselessness, individually as long as socially. Man, too, pays【M9】______
his toll, but as his sphere is wider, marriage does not limit him as
much as to woman. He feels his chains more in an economic sense.【M10】______
【M4】

选项

答案economical→economic

解析词汇错误，易混词误用。economic意为“经济上的；经济学的”，而economical则表示“节省的；实惠的”之义。此句指“婚姻首先是一种经济上的安排或投保协议”，所以应用economic。
