"For some highly ___________ working women, home represents chore obligations."
A. intelligent
B. intellectual
C. intelligible
D. intellect
In my opinion, the statement is trying to imply that highly-educated women do not generally fancy a family life. Therefore I would say B (intellectual) is the best answer. But one of my friends suggests that A (intelligent) is a more likely candidate in that it frequently collocates with the adverb "highly".
Can anyone tell me which option best completes the statement above? And please explain.
