A．showing modest
B．showing self-respec
C．expressing boastfulnes
D．making an understatemen
参考答案D
解析:推理判断题。由题干中的white．collar workers定位至倒数第二段。第二句指出“This often entailspretending to be more humble than is actually the case：22%of white-collar workers told You Gov that they consider themselves working class．”，旬中的pretending to be more humble表不他们说的情况与实际情况不符，是一种保守的说法，故[D]为答案。句中的pretending to be more humble意为“假称自己比实际所在的阶级卑微”，并不是他们要表现谦虚，排除[A]；显然，该行为并不是自我吹嘘的表现，排除[C]；文章中没有提到自重的问题，[B]无依据。
