问题     A critical consensus has emerged that Mary McCarthy will be remembered primarily as an essayist rather than as a novelist. But despite her formidable gifts as a polemical and discursive writer, and for all her reputation as an intellectual who sacrificed feeling to intelligence, what powers McCarthy’s best essays are her fictional rather than strictly intellectual gifts. She makes her points by telling stories or by ways of description, arresting images, and subtle characterization. And for all her exacting sense of fact, McCarthy’s greatest contribution was to blur the distinctions between different kinds of prose writing, to show how fiction could be opened up to the thinking mind and how essays could profit from the techniques of fiction.
The author of the passage suggests that Mary McCarthy’s writing is characterized by
选项 A、the use in her essays of devices more typical in works of fiction
B、a narrowing of the differences between narrative and expository
C、careful attention to factual accuracy
答案A,B,C
解析 devices more typical in works of fiction可以对应第三句的ways of description，arresting images，and subtle characterization，或者对应第四句的the techniques of fiction。B项对应第四句的blur the distinctions between different kinds of prose writing。narrowing=blur，differences=distinctions，narrative and expository=different kinds of prose writing。C项对应第四句的exacting sense of fact。careful attention=sense，factual=fact，accuracy=exacting。
