What main obstacle（障碍）almost destroyed Elizabeth's chances for becoming for a doctor? ( )

A.She wrote too many letters.

B.She couldn't graduate from medical school.

C.She was a woman.

D.She couldn't set up her hospital.

参考答案：C

参考解析：

细节题。根据题干的关键词“doctor”定位原文，在原文的第一段，One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century，据此可知，19世纪中期，想成为一名医生对于妇女来说是几乎不可能的，所以Elizabeth面对的主要障碍就是“她是一名妇女”，故答案选C。其他选项均不符。
