【正确答案:A】
原因题。本题主要考察不工作的女性为什么还会寻求离婚,在文章中我们看到下面的句子Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. 第一句是主题句,证明心理因素也应该被考虑。之后举了没有工作的女性a wife blocked from a career outside the home,对于这些女性,产生的一个心理就是感觉自己像被囚禁feel caged in the house.,感到像是关在笼子里,受到束缚,因此觉得自由被剥夺了。选项A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedom感觉失去自由恰好对应。所以这些女性看似经济能力缺乏,但依然会选择离婚,来逃脱牢笼。其他三个选项分别表示“害怕被老公颐指气使”“老公的表现不及预期”“老公对自己不忠”都没有在文章中提及。
