问题     The Ordinance of 1784 is most significant historically because it embodied the principle that new states should be formed from the western region and admitted to the Union on an equal basis with the original commonwealths. This principle, which underlay the whole later development of the continental United States, was generally accepted by this time and cannot be properly credited to any single man. Thomas Jefferson had presented precisely this idea to his own state of Virginia before the Declaration of Independence, however, and if he did not originate it he was certainly one of those who held it first. It had been basic in his own thinking about the future of the Republic throughout the struggle for independence. He had no desire to break from the British Empire simply to establish an American one--in which the newer region should be subsidiary and tributary to the old. What he dreamed of was an expanding union of self-governing commonwealths, joined as a group of peers.
The author would most probably agree with which of the following statements about Thomas Jefferson?
选项 A、He had a broad vision of his country’s future.
B、He put the interests of Virginia ahead of those of the Union.
C、He ignored the advice of people who settled the western region.
D、He was one of the first government officials to travel in the western United States.
答案A
解析 本题为细节题。首先文中提到的1784年法中重要原则“underlay the whole later development of the continental United States”，后面又提到Thomas Jefferson在《独立宣言》发表前就有此主张。因此选项A应符合作者的想法，应选A。
