(单选题)

The word “workhorses” in Paragraph 1 is used as ______.

A.euphemism

B.metaphor

C.personification

D.analogy

参考答案：B

参考解析：

推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“there was widespread perception that singles became the workhorses in corporate offices”可知，人们普遍认为单身成为企业办公室的主力。euphemism意为“委婉语”；metaphor意为“比喻”；personification意为“拟人”；analogy意为“类比”。workhorses原意为“耕马，役马”，这里将单身的人比喻为耕马，表明他们是办公室的主力军。故选B。
