【答案解析】[解析] 1-2
M: That was a pretty good history lecture, don't you think?
W: Well, to be honest, I didn't understand what Dr. Marquez meant by "partible inheritance" and it seems like that's an important thing to know.
M: Partible inheritance means that a man's property would be divided equally among all his children. After the man died, that is.
W: Oh. Then what's "primogeniture"?
M: That's when all the property goes to the eldest son. Just think about the word "primogeniture." "Primo" means "one" or "first," right?
W: Right. Oh, I get it! "Primogeniture" is when the first son gets everything.
M: That's right.
W: Now it's starting to make sense.
