学员疑问：86这道题怎么选？
86. The story line "I got cancer in my prostrate" is intended to achieve a (n) ________effect.
A. amusing B. serious C. puzzling D. saddening
"I got cancer in my prostrate." Detective Andy Sipowicz of the fictional 15th Precinct, a stoic, big bear of a man, is clearly in a world of pain in a 1998 episode of NYPD Blue. The story line deals not only with cancer but also with medical screw-ups, hospital indignities and physician arrogance. The malapropism ( Andy, of course, meant "prostate" ) is about the only medical detail the show got wrong—and it was deliberate, in keeping with Sipowicz’ s coarse but tenderhearted character.
老师解答：根据选项的形容词来看，是需要我们选出作者使用该句话想要达到怎么样的效果？这需要我们去观察作者使用的措辞来判断。文章第二句讲到The story line不仅有关cancer而且涉及medical screw-ups，hospital indignities和physician arrogance，可以看出这些话题都是医学上严肃的话题，由此可知这句话是要造成一种严肃的效果。因此答案选B。
点评分析：我们可以根据作者选用的话题类型，用词，情感偏好等形容词或者名词来判断情感态度。
