What does “dissonance” mean in the fifth paragraph？ ( )

A.Difficult

B.Discord

C.Stressful

D.Unadaptable

参考答案：B

参考解析：

含义题。定位至第五段原句More or less independent living will cause a certain dissonance and definite stress for a child who gets used to the fact that a certain part of their life is done without their participation or effort.可知certain dissonance与definite stress属于并列关系。所以可以推知dissonance与“压力”感情色彩一致，且描述的对象是“独立的生活”。首先排除选项C；Unadaptable：无法适应，不符合句意，排除；Difficult：困难，此处与“压力”无法形成并列关系，排除。Discord：不协调，与dissonance词意一致。故本题正确答案选B。
