M: Mr. Smith, our history professor, announced we would be doing two papers and three exams this semester. I wonder how I'm going to pull through when two other courses have similar requirements.
W: Well, can't you drop one course and pick it up next semester?
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
A) Do the assignments towards the end of the semester.

C) Drop one course and do it next semester.

解析：男生抱怨道我們的歷史老師Smith宣稱這個學期我們要搞定兩份論文三次考試?？墒莿e的課程也有類似的要求，我都不知道我該怎么去應付了。女生建議道那你為什么不退一門課呢？下學期再選也不遲啊。因此答案選C。
