问题 The middle class mainly refers to people ______ .
Why isn’t the word "sir" commonly used in Britain?
选项 A、Because it sounds too servile and is likely to cause embarrassment.
B、Because it can only be used in certain occupations.
C、Because it is an impolite word.
D、Because it shows that the speaker is not a well-bred person.
答案A
解析 推断题。见文章的最后两句  “Servility inspires both embarrassment and dislike．Even the word‘sir’，except in school and in certain occupations (e．g．commerce，the army)sounds too servile to be commonly used．”(谦卑会引起尴尬和不悦。甚至像“阁下”这样的词，除了在特定的职业中(如商业、军队)外，也不太常用，因为它听起来太过谦卑。)选项A意为“因为它听起来太过谦卑，很可能会引起尴尬”。
