[单项选择]TEXT C
When George Orwell wrote in 1941 that England was "the most class-ridden country under the sun", he was only partly right. Societies have always had their hierarchies, with some group perched at the top. In the Indian state of Bihar the Ranveer Sena, an upper-caste private army, even killed to stay there.
By that measure class in Britain hardly seems entrenched (根深蒂固的). But in another way Orwell was right, and continues to be. As a new YouGov poll shows, Britons are surprisingly alert to class - both their own and that of others. And they still think class is sticky. According to the poll, 48% of people aged 30 or over say they expect to end up better off than their parents. But only 28% expect to end up in a different class. More than two-thirds think neither they nor their children will leave the class they were born into.
What does this thing that people cannot escape consist of these days And what do people look at when decoding which class someone belongs to The most u
A. Because there was stronger class consciousness in India.
B. Because more people hope to end up in a higher class.
C. Because people expect to gain more wealth than their parents.
D. Because Britons are still conscious of their class status.

Advertisement
George Orwell, a famous British writer, was once quoted to have said, "Advertising is the rattling (不休的说话) of a stick inside a swill bucket. “Advertisers of today have to try harder and harder to get the consumers’ attention.
