Young women【C2】______enjoy their best years without a(n) 【C3】______, she advised, as this not only【C4】______the foundation for stronger marriages【C5】______gave them a lifestyle to fall back on【C6】______they found themselves alone again.

【C18】
选项 A、raise
B、liberate
C、transform
D、deprive
答案B
解析 空格处填入的动词，与后面的from构成搭配。本句的主语为Its cultural acceptance(文化上接受独居)，可推断妇女再也不需要担忧离开失败的婚姻和压抑家庭的家庭会受人非议等问题。因此空格处的词应具有“保护……使其免遭……”的含义，B项liberate“解放”符合要求。
