参考答案:D
参考解析:
推理判断题。根据文章第一段第四句“Skeptics, of course, say that there was something else to this.”可知,在19世纪,对于一夫多妻制,有持怀疑态度的人,所以它并非是一种惯例,所以A项排除;根据文章第一段最后一句“And in fairness, some of his wives were elderly women whom he married out of kindness and not because he was attracted to them.”可知,他的一些妻子是年迈的妇女,他娶她们是出于好意,而不是因为他被她们吸引,所以B项排除;文中未明确说明一夫多妻制的起始时间,所以排除C项;根据文章第四段第一、二句“But what would it really be like to have multiple spouses? Most men I’ve asked answer immediately with a knowing smile.”可知,但是有多个配偶是什么感觉?我问过的大多数男人,都会面带微笑地立刻回答。因此大多数男人还是认为一夫多妻是好主意,所以D项正确。故选D。
