问题     An Irish newspaper editorial encouraging women to participate in the nonimportation movement launched in Ireland in 1779 appears consistent with a perception that the political use of the consumer boycott originated in North America and spread eastwards across the Atlantic to Ireland. This is a view that most historians have concurred with. For example, T H Breen argued that the consumer boycott was a brilliantly original American invention. Breen did acknowledge that a few isolated boycotts may have taken place in other countries. However, Mary O’Dowd argues that from the late seventeenth century, Irish political discourse advocated the nonconsumption of imported goods and support for home manufactures by women in ways that were strikingly similar to those used later in North America. [br] The passage is primarily concerned with
选项 A、resolving a dispute
B、advocating a course of action
C、tracing the evolution of a practice
D、citing competing views of an issue
E、chronicling a series of events
答案 D
解析 本题属于主旨题，正确答案就是文章的3s版本，因此选项D正确。an issue对应抵制活动起源于哪里这个话题，competing views对应“北美”和“其他国家”这两种观点。A项本文关于抵制行为起源于何处没有给出定论，因此充其量是“呈现争议”，而没有“解决争议”。B项文中未提及。C项evolution指“发展”，意为从起源到结束的全过程，但是本文只研究了起源。E项本文只讨论了一个事件(抵制行为)的起源，而没有讨论一系列事件(events)。
