参考答案【正确答案：C】
细节题。根据题干中提供的专有名词作为信息词，在文中找到“A YouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money.”不难理解本句的意思就是在说由于经济萧条，夫妻双方针对钱方面的争执越发多起来。对应选项C。选项B和D都具有比较强的干扰性，但是通过第三段的1-2行都可以排除。特别注意B中提到“it is more expensive for couples to split up”与文章中的“splitting up less affordable”并不是一个意思。
