ASo she is looking for a safer job now.
BShe is afraid of dangerous work, too.
CMy father is a policeman, too.
DBut my mother does not agree with them.
✔ 正確答案：(D) But my mother does not agree with them.
解析空格前說朋友認為女人不該做危險工作，空格後說「在她看來，保護鎮上的安全比什麼都重要」，可見媽媽「不同意」朋友的看法，選 But my mother does not agree with them.。「正在找比較安全的工作」「她也怕危險的工作」都順著朋友的想法走，與後句相反；「爸爸也是警察」與前文爸爸是在家工作的作家矛盾。

AHowever
BAt first
CFor example
DA few days later
✔ 正確答案：(D) A few days later
解析先是上個月送迷路的老太太回家，之後她兒子帶蛋糕來道謝，是時間先後，用 A few days later。However 表轉折、At first 指「一開始」、For example 表舉例，都不合前後文。

At the party, she told me a secret: Uncle Sam had first asked Mary to (17) him two years ago, but she said she was not ready. When he asked again last spring, he waited a whole month for her answer.
