问题 The primary purpose of the passage is to______
It ban be inferred that the author of the passage quotes Baker directly in the second paragraph primarily in order to______
选项 A、clarify a position before providing an alternative ot that position
B、differentiate between a novel definition and traditional definitions
C、provide an example of a point agreed on by different generations of scholars
D、provide an example of the prose style of an important historian
E、amplify a definition given in the first pargraph
答案B
解析 The best answer is B. The first paragraph suggests that political activity had been defined in terms of voting, party politics, and office holding, whereas the second paragraph indicates that Baker broadened the definition to include any action influencing government or community issues. Thus, the author’s direct quotation serves to display the difference between Baker’s definition and more traditional definitions. Because no alternative view is discussed after the discussion of Baker’s, A can be eliminated. Choice C is incorrect because, as the passage indicates, the definition offered by Baker is not one on which different generations of scholars agree. Choice D can be eliminated because the author displays no interest in Baker’s prose style. Choice E is incorrect because no definition like Baker’s is discussed in the first paragraph.
