Refer to the excerpt from "A Bachelor's Complaint of the Behavior of Married People". You can infer from the fifth sentence that "them" refers to
a. wives
b. husbands
c. old friends
d. sovereign princes
e. friendships

Fifth Sentence is: "With some limitations they can endure that: but that the good man should have dared to enter into a solemn league of friendship in which they were not consulted, though it happened before they knew him, -- before they that are now are man and wife ever met, -- this is impossible to them".

I thought the answer was friendships, but I was wrong. I think the answer is wives.
Answered by Reed
I think the key phrase is "man and wife". What do you think?
Answered by Sean
Well, if the key phrase I should focus on is man and wife, I believe my answer is c. old friends. This is all so confusing.
