问题     From 1910 to 1913, women suffragists in the United States organized annual parades— activity traditionally conducted by men to proclaim solidarity in some cause—not only as a public expression of suffragist solidarity but also a conscious transgression of the rules of social order: women’s very presence in the streets challenged traditional notions of femininity and restrictions on women’s conduct. While recognizing the parade’s rhetorical force as a vehicle for social change, scholars have recently begun to examine its drawbacks as a form of protest. Lumsden characterizes the American suffrage parade as a “double-edged sword”, arguing that women’s efforts to proclaim their solidarity left them open to patronizing commentary from press and public and to organized opposition from antisuffragists.
The passage suggests which of the following about proponents of the “rules of social order?”

选项 A、They frowned upon public displays such as parades.
B、They had ulterior motives for objecting to women’s participation in suffrage parades.
C、They formed the core of the organized opposition to women suffrage.
D、They believed that it was unfeminine for women to march in suffrage parades.
E、They supported women’s rights to vote but disapprove some of the methods that suffragists employed to gain that right.

答案D

解析 女性游行违背了社会秩序,因此支持社会秩序的人不会支持女性游行,因此选项D正确。
