This question is based on Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer.

For Young Marlow, which of the following is the most objectionable aspect of marriage?

Answer Details
For Young Marlow in She Stoops to Conquer, the most objectionable aspect of marriage is the rigours of formal courtship. Marlow is shown to be very uncomfortable around women of his own class and feels awkward in their presence, which makes it difficult for him to engage in formal courtship rituals. He expresses a preference for women of lower classes because he believes that they will be more accommodating and less demanding. Therefore, he fears the demands that come with formal courtship and prefers to avoid it altogether.
