单选题
To many people, a husband and wife alone do not seem a proper family--they need children to enrich the circle, to ______ family character and to gather the redemptive influence of offspring.
A. repress B. intimidate C validate D. confine
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] C项“validate使生效，确认”，如validate a passport(使护照生效)，根据空格处的意思：为了使家庭角色得到确认，故选C。A项repress压制；B项intimidate胁迫；D项confine限制，均不符合题意。
