问题 The passage as a whole can best be characterized as which of the following? [br] The passage suggests that which of the following was true of Black units’ disease mortality rates in the Civil War?
选项 A、They were almost as high as the combat mortality rates of White units.
B、They resulted in part from the relative inexperience of these units when in combat.
C、They were especially high because of the nature of these units’ usual duty assignments.
D、They resulted in extremely high overall casualty rates in Black combat units.
E、They exacerbated the morale problems that were caused by the army’s discriminatory policies.
答案 C
解析 The best answer is C. In lines 15-19, the passage describes “army policies that kept most Black units serving in rear echelon assignments and working in labor battalions.” The passage continues: “Thus…their mortality rate from disease … was twice as great.” The use of the word “thus” here suggests that some aspect of these conditions was the cause of the high mortality rates, as C states. Nothing can be inferred from the passage about the absolute relationship between disease mortality rates of Black units and combat mortality rates of White units (choice A), or about the relative severity of overall casualty rates in Black combat units (choice D). nor does the passage mention or suggest the role of either the inexperience (choice B) or the morale (choice E) of Black units.
