问题     Working-class families in the United States are usually nuclear, and
many studies indicate that working-class couples marry for love, not
for money. Upper-class couples may marry for love, but their commitment
of love is sometimes compromised by the recognition of their marriage (1)______
as a way to preserve their class identity. Middle-class couples may also
marry for love, but the overridden task of middle-class families is also (2)______
an economic thing—to enhance the earning power of the breadwinner. (3)______
Of course, working-class people are also affected by the economic
realities for their families must operate like economic units as well. (4)______
However, the economic tasks of families are more a part of their dreams (5)______
about marriage than they are a part of the reality of their married life.
Indeed, to many a working-class couples, love provides a way to escape (6)______
from the difficulties of their parents’ home and starts their own family life. (7)______
    Another distinctive feature of working-class families is the majority (8)______
of them have limited choices about the work available to them. Their
"choices" are often the "leftovers" in the job market. People from working-class
families do seek self-esteem and personal confirmation, and they come (9)______
to their jobs full of hopes. However, given the way which production (10)______
and consumption are organized in advancing societies like the U.S.,
members of the working-class often experience exploitation in struggling
at jobs that may be less meaningful.

选项
答案confirmation--affirmation
解析 易混词误用。confirmation意为“证实，证明，批准”，而affirmation意为“肯定，断言”。结合并列的成分self-esteem“自尊”，personal affirmation“自我肯定”意义符合全句的意思。
