주어진 글 다음에 이어질 글의 순서로 가장 적절한 것은?
Briefly consider a metaphor that plays a significant role in how we live our daily lives: Time Is Money.

(A)We often speak of time as if it were money—for example, in everyday expressions such as “You’re wasting my time,” “This device will save you hours of work,” “How will you spend your weekend?” and “I’ve invested a lot of time in this relationship.”
(B)Every metaphor brokers what is made visible or invisible; this one highlights how time is like money and obscures ways it is not. Time thus becomes something that we can waste or lose, and something that diminishes as we grow older. It is abstracted in a very linear, orderly fashion.
(C)This metaphor, however, fails to disclose important phenomenological aspects of time, such as how it may speed up or slow down, depending on our engagement with what we are doing. We may instead conceive of time as quite fluid—as a stream, for example—thought we lose sight of this to the extent that we have adopted the worldview of Time Is Money.

(C) - (B) - (A)

가장 적절한 순서는 (A) - (B) - (C)이다.
(A)는 주어진 글의 Time Is Money 은유를 일상 표현 사례로 보여 준다. (B)는 “this one highlights how time is like money and obscures ways it is not”(이 은유는 유사점을 부각하고 차이를 가린다)로 받고, (C)는 “however, fails to disclose”(그러나 드러내지 못한다)로 가려진 측면을 구체화한다.
“(A) - (C) - (B)”: (C)의 역접 “however”는 은유가 부각하는 측면을 말한 (B) 뒤에 와야 한다.
“(B) - (A) - (C)”: 일상 사례 (A)가 없으면 (B)의 “waste or lose” 같은 시간 이해가 먼저 분석되어 흐름이 어색하다.
“(C) - (B) - (A)”: “This metaphor, however”는 앞선 설명 없이 주어진 글 바로 뒤에 오기 어렵다.
