问题     African American painter Malvin Gray Johnson (1896-1934) grew up in urban environments, including New York City, but in 1934 visited and painted scenes from the small town of Brightwood, Virginia. Some critics have celebrated the Brightwood paintings, which depict a vibrant natural landscape and close-knit Black community, as Johnson’s discovery of an "authentic" African American life in the rural South. This view, which reflects a common tendency to regard African American artists’ imagery as unmediated documentation of direct experience, overlooks Johnson’s interpretive thinking. In truth, Johnson’s conceptualization of the South was largely formed before he left New York, where he had studied the French expressionist Paul Cézanne. Johnson’s Brightwood paintings reflect Cézanne’s stylistic influence and tendency to present rural life as an idyllic alternative to modern industrialism. [br] The highlighted sentence has which of the following functions in the passage?
选项 A、It expands upon a point made in the previous sentence.
B、It helps explain a common tendency described earlier in the passage
C、It identifies a way in which Johnson sought to differentiate his work from that of other artists.
答案 A
解析 从句间关系来看，定位句与前一句取同。从内容来看，前一句讲了约翰逊受到表现主义的影响，而定位句具体描述了约翰逊受到影响之后其绘画所要表现的内容，因此选项A正确。B项a common tendency对应的是评论家的观点，但是定位句作为例子反驳了评论家，因此选项B的表述相反。C项文中未提及。
