问题    Given the persistent and intransigent nature of
    the American race system, which proved quite
    impervious to black attacks, Du Bois in his
Line speeches and writings moved from one proposed
(5) solution to another, and the salience of various
    parts of his philosophy changed as his perceptions
    of the needs and strategies of black America
    shifted over time. Aloof and autonomous in his
    personality, Du Bois did not hesitate to depart
(10) markedly from whatever was the current main-
    stream of black thinking when he perceived that
    the conventional wisdom being enunciated by
    black spokesmen was proving inadequate to the
    task of advancing the race. His willingness to
(15) seek different solutions often placed him well
    in advance of his contemporaries, and this,
    combined with a strong-willed, even arrogant
    personality made his career as a black leader
    essentially a series of stormy conflicts.
(20)    Thus Du Bois first achieved his role as a major
    black leader in the controversy that arose over the
    program of Booker T. Washington, the most
    prominent and influential black leader at the
    opening of the twentieth century. Amidst the
(25) wave of lynchings, disfranchisement, and segre-
    gation laws, Washington, seeking the good will of
    powerful whites, taught blacks not to protest
    against discrimination, but to elevate themselves
    through industrial education, hard work, and prop-
(30) erty accumulation; then, they would ultimately
    obtain recognition of their citizenship rights. At
    first Du Bois agreed with this gradualist strategy,
    but in 1903 with the publication of his most influ-
    ential book, Souls of Black Folk, he became the
(35) chief leader of the onslaught against Washington
    that polarized the black community into two
    wings—the "conservative" supporters of
    Washington and his "radical" critics.
It can be inferred that Booker T. Washington in comparison with W. E. B. Du Bois could be described as all of the following EXCEPT
选项 A、submissive to the majority
B、concerned with financial success
C、versatile in adopting strategies
D、traditional in preaching industry
E、respectful of authority
答案C
解析
