Analyzing levels of proportional representation of American Indians in state and local government jobs is important for several reasons. First, the basic idea underlying the theory of representative bureaucracy is that the demographic composition of bureaucracy should mirror the demographic composition of the general public. This is because in addition to its symbolic value,
increased access to managerial positions
may lead to greater responsiveness on the part of policy makers to the policy interests of traditionally disadvantaged groups such as American Indians. Second, the focus on higher-level jobs in bureaucracies(as opposed to nonmanagerial positions) is especially important because managerial positions represent a major source of economic progress for members of traditionally disadvantaged groups, as these jobs confer good salaries, benefits, status, security, and mobility. Third, it is important to know if there has been growth in the American Indian share of more desirable public-sector positions over the last two decades. For instance, Peterson and Duncan argue that the populations and power of American Indians have been growing in certain states.
Peterson and Duncan also suggest that this growth may reflect the possibility that American Indian populations are becoming more active in nontraditional areas of politics, assimilating into mainstream culture, and securing with greater frequency leadership positions in nontribal government.
[br] Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence in the context of the passage as whole?
选项
A、It hypothesizes a phenomenon that might explain a point made in the preceding sentence.
B、It provides evidence that undermines the assertion made in the first sentence.
C、It offers a projection regarding the development of a trend mentioned earlier in the passage.
D、It presents an interpretation of a discrepancy noted earlier in the passage.
E、It proposed an implementation of a policy mentioned in the preceding sentence.
答案
C
解析
本题属于句子功能题,正确答案应该是定住句3s版本。本题定位句的3s版本是知道美国原住民在政府工作中的比例上升后的意义,因此选项C正确。a projection对应reflect the possibility,a trend时应the populations and power of American Indians have been growing in certain states。A项重点关注explain一词,explain表示因果关系,A explain B等于“A导致B”。如果选择选项A,就意味着定位句可以导致前一句的观点,但是根据原文,应该是前一句反映了定位句,即前一句一定位句,因果倒置。B项定位句与前一句为顺承关系,不存在削弱。D项a discrepancy在文中没有对应。E项a policy mentioned in the preceding sentence在文中没有对应。
