问题 The passage as a whole can best be characterized as which of the following? [br] Which of the following best describes the kind of error attributed to Glarthaar in lines 25-28?
选项 A、Insisting on an unwarranted distinction between two groups of individuals in order to render an argument concerning them internally consistent
B、Supporting an argument in favor of a given interpretation of a situation with evidence that is not particularly relevant to the situation
C、Presenting a distorted view of the motives of certain individuals in order to provide grounds for a negative evaluation of their actions
D、Describing the conditions prevailing before a given event in such a way that the contrast with those prevailing after the event appears more striking than it actually is
E、Asserting that a given event is caused by another event merely because the other event occurred before the given event occurred
答案 D
解析 The best answer is D. To answer this question, you must determine what “kind of error” the author of the passage directly attributes to Glatthaar in lines 25-28. These lines assert that “in trying to demonstrate the magnitude of this attitudinal change”-the change in White soldiers’ attitudes toward Black units-“Glathaar seems to exaggerate the prewar racism of the White men who became officers in Black regiments.” The error attributed to Glathaar is one of exaggerating conditions before the Civil War so as to overstate the contrast between prewar and postwar conditions. Glatthaar is not specifically faulted in lines 25-28 for presenting either “an unwarranted distinction between two groups” (choice A); or irrelevant evidence (choice B); or for distorting motives in order to evaluate actions negatively (choice C); or for misattributing causality (choice E).
