问题 I enjoyed A Dream of Light & Shadow: Portraits of Latin American Women Writers for the same reasons that, as a child, I avidly consumed women’s biographies: the fascination with how the biographical details of another female’s life are represented and interpreted.
    A Dream offers a rich read, varied in both the lives and texts of the women portrayed, and the perspectives and styles of the sixteen essayists. Yet, as an adult, I have come to demand of any really "great" book a self-consciousness about the tenuous nature of representations of reality, a critical contextualization of florid detail, and a self-awareness of the role of ideology in our lives. In these critical senses, A Dream is inadequate.
The author of the passage suggests that A Dream falls short in which of the following respects?

选项 A、It does not appear to recognize that representations of reality can be unreliable.
B、It seems to focus on stylistic variety at the expense of accuracy of detail.
C、It offers a wealth of detail without sufficient critical examination of that detail.

答案A

解析 Choices A and C are correct. We know from the final sentence that the collection falls short of several criteria established by the author.
Choice A is correct: the book does not demonstrate sufficient awareness of the "tenuous nature of representations of reality."
Choice B is incorrect: there is no mention in the passage of any concern on the part of the author about the accuracy of detail.
Choice C is correct: the book does not offer an adequate "critical contextualization of florid detail."
