问题 The editors of the essay collection Romantic Biography tell us repeatedly that biography is an invention of the Romantic period in British literature (late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries), yet we are never shown that process of invention in motion. Hazlitt, the most prominent example of the Romantic biographer, is almost invisible. The Romantic period was not just the period in which biography was invented—or, rather, the period in which some of its informing principles were invented, since biography could just as easily be said to have originated in the scandalous memoirs that formed part of the pre-Romantic culture of the novel. It was also the period in which biography, through its sheer ubiquity, became an object of major ideological significance within British culture.
The passage mentions the “scandalous memoirs” that were written prior to the Romantic period primarily in order to
选项 A、indicate an alternative account of the origins of biography
B、compare these memoirs to Romantic biography
C、explain how biography became ubiquitous in British culture
D、question the ideological significance accorded to biography
E、suggest that biographies were not as popular as memoirs
答案A
解析 本题是句子功能题，正确答案是定位句的3s版本，本题定位句是第三句，3s版本为传记起源于前浪漫主义时期。A选项的an alternative account指的正是前浪漫主义时期，因此A正确。
