问题             In some ways, Ralph Ellison’s protagonist in Invisible Man emblematizes
       what might be called the "presentist simplicity" of the novel’s endorsement of
       industrial, imperialist, xenophobic American myth-making. Layer upon layer of
Line    allusion mark its chapters, which in combination with the novel’s Homeric
(5)     ambitiousness, serve finally to obscure rather than to prophesy the actual,
       engaged, advanced-guard, public sphere effectiveness of American blacks
       already at work modernizing the United States. Simply stated, Ellison believed
       morality, equality, and responsibility were affirmative "notions", but blacks, at
       the very moment of Invisible Man’s glorious reception, were transforming
(10)    "notions" into decisively affirmative actions, by courageously putting body and
       soul on the line and constructing a sphere of American ethical publicity
       undreamed by the novelist. Ellison thus remained silent on the possibilities of an
       altogether "unexceptional" America-a post-industrial, radically black public
       sphere conditioned America.
In terms of its tone and its form, the passage can best be characterized as
选项 A、a critical analysis
B、a speculative study
C、a dispassionate presentation
D、an indignant denial
E、a dogmatic explanation
答案A
解析
