问题 The passage is primarily concerned with discussing______
The author of the passage puts the word “renegade” (line 29) in quotation marks most probably in order to______

选项 A、emphasize the lack of support for the theories in question
B、contrast the controversial quality of the theories in question with the respectable character of their formulators
C、generate skepticism about the theories in question
D、ridicule the scientists who once doubted the theories in question
E、indicate that the theories in question are no longer as unconventional as they once seemed

答案E

解析 The best answer is E. To describe a theory as “renegade” is to suggest that it is unconventional. However, the author puts the word “renegade” in quotation marks (line 29) when using it to describe theories that, the author says, are “newly fashionable” (line 29). The use of quotation marks with this word in this way serves to indicate that the theories in question are no longer as unconventional as they once seemed. There is nothing in the passage to suggest that any of the other choices describe goal of the author.
