解析 This question asks you to identify which of several pieces of information about nineteenth-century United States census is NOT presented in the passage. The best answer is D. Lines 24-29 of the passage, which describe the 1890 United States census, suggest that this census gathered information about women’s occupations and wages. There is, however, no indication of how (or whether) the census measured women’s overall income levels, and the passage does not mention women’s educational backgrounds in connection with the census. Choice A is incorrect: lines 19-20 of the passage indicate that 1870 was the year in which occupational information was first analyzed by gender. Choice B is incorrect: liens 16-19 of the passage state that 1850 was the year in which information about individuals was first collected. Choice C is incorrect: lines 19-29 of the passage indicate that 1890 was the year in which overlap between women who were employed outside the home and women who kept house was first determined. Choice E incorrect: lines 5-15 of the passage state that in the 1840 United States census, the head of household was specified by name while other household members were indicated by occupational and other categories.
