參考答案【正確答案：B】
推斷題。答案在文章的第一段：When foreigners are sometimes asked what seems most strange about American society，somewhere on the top of the list will be the fact the average citizen is allowed to possess guns. “當一些外國人被問到在美國社會中，什么事情在他們看來最不尋常時, 經(jīng)常性的回答是為什么普通的美國人都可以持有槍支。"most unusual是most strange的同義替換，因此B選項為正確答案。
