20. M: So you're taking sociology in the independent-study course. I guess you get more time for other classes.

W: Well, you would think so.

What does the women imply?

A. She is taking only one class this semester.

B. Her sociology course is very time-consuming.

C. She agrees with the man.

D. The man should take an independent-study course.

答案是B，谁能说一下对话的背景吗？我怎么感觉这题的答案逻辑有点儿问题？

既然GG 说: 我想你可以有更多的时间用在其他的课程上了。那MM上socilogy按理来说应该用不了多少时间啊！为什么说sociology 是更time-consuming 呢？不解

这里MM说的you would think so 其实是一种虚拟表达，相当于“是啊，你本可以那么想”----言下之意，就是“其实事实不是这样的。”

wish it helpful.

in fact, the tone indicates that the lady doesnot agree with the man. "well..well..."
