改错题 78.Many wives shoulder the prime responsibility for running the home, nevertheless in most families the loss of the wife is more devastating than the loss of the husband.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】这句话的意思是：许多妻子承担着经营家庭的主要责任，所以对于多数家庭而言，失去妻子往往比失去丈夫更具有毁灭性。这句话的前后关系是原因和结果。if only意为“只要”；now that意为“既然”；even if意为“即使”；只有so that引导结果状语从句。答案为D。
