Question

In my opinion, the idea of a family is much narrower than    for many of us.

A.that used to be B.it is used to

C.it was used to D.it used to be

Answer

D

【解析】

考查代词和固定搭配。句意：在我看来，对我们很多人来说，现在家庭的概念比过去要狭隘得多。be used to (doing)…“习惯于……”，used to do“过去常常做某事”，be used to do“……被用来做某事”；这里是“现在的家庭观念”和“过去的家庭观念”作比较，that表特指，替代的对象与所指名词同类，但不是同一个，it代替上文提到过的同一事物，在这句话中指the idea of a family，所以用it used to be。故选D项。
