The condition of scholarship devoted to the history of women in photography

问题     The condition of scholarship devoted to the history of women in photography is confounding. Recent years have witnessed the posthumous inflation of the role of the hobbyist Alice Austen into that of a pioneering documentarian while dozens of notable senior figures — Marion Palfi, whose photographs of civil-rights activities in the South served as early evidence of the need for protective legislation, to name one — received scant attention from scholars. And, while Naomi Rosenblum’s synoptic History of Women Photographers covers the subject through 1920 in a generally useful fashion, once she reaches the 1920s, when the venues, forms, applications, and movements of the medium expanded exponentially, she resorts to an increasingly terse listing of un-familiar names, with approaches and careers summarized in a sentence or two. [br] Which of the following statements about Marion Palfi is supported by the passage?
选项 A、Marion Palfi’s photographs would have received greater recognition from historians had her work been done in an era when most aspects of photography were static rather than in a state of transition.
B、Alice Austen has achieved greater notoriety than has Marion Palfi primarily because the subjects that Austen photographed were more familiar to her contemporaries.
C、In addition to providing a record of certain historical events, Marion Palfi’s photographs played a role in subsequent events.
答案 C
解析 certain historical events对应第二句的民权运动，subsequent events对应保护性立法。A项强行将马里昂.帕尔菲的受欢迎程度和其所处的时代产生联系。B项爱丽丝.奥斯丁在文中得到的是好名声，而非“骂名”。
