The drama critic, on the other hand, has no such advantage. He cannot be selective; he must cover everything that is offered for public scrutiny in the principal playhouses of the city where he works. The column space that seemed, yesterday, so pitifully inadequate to contain his comments on Long Day’s Journey Into Night is roughly the same as that which yawns today for his verdict on the latest scrap of milk-fed Kitsch that has chanced to find for itself a numbskull hacker with a hundred thousand dollars to lose. This state of affairs may help to explain why the New York theater reviewers are so often, and so unjustly, stigmatized as baleful and destructive fiends. They spend most of their professional lives attempting to pronounce intelligent judgments on plays that have no aspiration to intelligence. It is hardly surprising that they lash out occasionally; in fact, what amazes me about them is that they do not lash out more violently and more frequently. As Shaw said of his fellow-critics in the nineties, they are "a culpably indulgent body of men." Imagine the verbal excoriations that would be inflicted if Lionel Trilling, or someone of comparable eminence, were called on to review five books a month of which three were novelettes composed of criminal confessions. The butchers of Broadway would seem lambs by comparison.
The paragraph previous to this one most probably discusses the ______.
选项
A、work of a book reviewer
B、characteristics of the reading public
C、advantages of being a drama critic
D、costs of play production
答案
A
解析
这个自然段前面的一个自然段很可能论述书评家的工作。根据第一句话,作者改变了他的话题,因为他运用了on the other hand(另一方面)这个词组。与戏剧评论相对应的很可能是书评,这是选A的第一个依据。第二个依据是他在文章结尾处把书评家和戏剧评论家进行了比较。
