问题     Something has been happening to the concept of "fiction," both in critical discourse and elsewhere. For a long time, this concept operated under commonly understood restrictions. It was used to refer (1) to a certain genre of literature; (2) to a certain aspect of literature in general-- the element of plot, action, or fable, including such constituents as character, setting, scene, and so on; (3) to any narrative or story containing a large element of invention. But recently, the concept of "fiction" has undergone an expansion. Though still used to refer to the action or plot of literary works, it has come to be applied to something more: to the ideas, themes, and beliefs that are embodied in the action or plot. It is not only the events in literature that are regarded as fictive but the "message" or "world view" conveyed in the presentation of the events as well. And this is not the end of the matter. Going a step farther, critics now sometimes suggest, by kind of tautology, that literary meanings are fictions because all meanings are fictions, even those of nonliterary language, including the language of criticism. In these most extreme flights, this critical view asserts that "life" and "reality" are themselves fictions.   
When the author says that something has been happening to the concept of "fiction", he means that the concept of "fiction" ______.
选项 A、only operates under commonly understood restrictions
B、has recently been expanded
C、is applied to something different
D、is undergoing a change only in critical discourse
答案B
解析 作者在文章的前半部分论述了”虚构”作品的概念。作者指出，“虚构”作品的概念虽然仍然主要指文学作品中的故事情节，但这一概念在最近一段时间已经逐步扩大到了这些故事情节背后所体现的思想、主题、信仰等内容。本题属于主旨理解题。因此，选项B为正确答案。
