The author's mention of broomsticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ______.

B
B[试题分析] 主旨题。[详细解答] 第四段的主要内容是说神话所讲内容大多是虚构的，不真实的，孩子们无法学会适应现实的本领，最后一句提到：If their case were sound，the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a  broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl-friend，目的就是对此主旨进行说明。其中，case就是指神话故事中虚构的，不现实的事实，显然，作者的目的就是表明神话故事会让孩子们混淆事实，无法正确认识现实世界。所以，B为正确答案。
