Here's the excerpt from the transcript: He's got an hilarious little eco-game on it: shoot the wolves and see how many deer reproduce and eat all the grass!
M: Hmm. I suppose that would teach, uh, fifth graders about the balance of nature.
A: Hey, it was fun! Anyway, he's also got some good information there-- it'll probably come in handy when he gives us homework.
5). Why does the young woman say this: "I suppose that would teach, uh, fifth graders about the balance of nature"? (A) She thinks the game is educational. (B) She thinks the game is beneath the man. -- CORRECT (C) She thinks the game is inappropriate. (D) She thinks the game is fun.
I can understand the meaning of the sentence but what do you mean by "beneath the man"?
Thanks in advance
