The primary purpose of the passage is to______
The passage suggests which of the following about the “women’s advocates and women statisticians” mentioned in lines 27-28?
选项
A、They wanted to call attention to the lack of pay for women who worked in the home.
B、They believed that previous census information was inadequate and idd not reflect certain economic changes in the United States.
C、They had begun to press for changes in census-taking methods as part of their participation in the antislavery movement.
D、They thought that census statistics about women would be more accurate if more women were employed as census officials.
E、They had conducted independent studies that disputed the official statistics provided by previosu United States censuses.
答案
B
解析
This question asks you to choose which of several statements about the “women’s advocates and women statisticians” mentioned in lines 27-28 can best be inferred from information presented in the passage. Choice B is the best answer. Lines 25-29 of the passage state that “the rapid entry of women into the paid labor force and social issues arising from industrialization” had caused “women’s advocates and women statisticians” to press for “more thorough and accurate accounting of women’s occupations and wages” in the 1890 census. Their pressing for fuller information implies that the women’s advocates and women statisticians believe earlier United States censuses had not provided adequate information about women’s occupations and wages. The fact that recent economic changes such as women’s increased participation in the paid labor force are described as causing the request for a fuller census accounting implies that these changes were among the things which the advocates believed were not reflected in census information previously. Both A and C attribute the desire of women’s advocates and women statisticians for more thorough and accurate census information to an explanation other than the one given in lines 24-29 of the passage. The passage does not indicate that theses advocates and statisticians were participants in the antislavery movement or that they wanted to call attention to the lack of pay for women who worked at home. Choice D is incorrect because it cannot be determined from the information presented in the passage whether these advocates and statisticians thought that census statistics about women would be more accurate if more women were employed as census officials. Choice E is incorrect because it cannot be determined from the information presented in the passage whether these advocates and statisticians personally conducted independent studies relating to census statisticians.
