问题     Certain practices common in the early United States make it easy for historians to underestimate the extent of American women’s paid labor. Under the legal principle called coverture, married women had no legally recognized economic existence apart from their husbands and could not receive wages for their work. Records of payments for outwork (work performed in the home on a piece-rate basis) show male names as wage recipients. One has to look in the columns recording the amount of work completed to see that female names are listed as producers. Furthermore, most wage laborers were paid partly in goods and received cash wages only quarterly or once or twice a year. The infrequency of such payments has sometimes made it difficult for historians to recognize them as wages. [br] According to the passage, payments to wage laborers in the early United States were
选项 A、usually lower for outwork than for other kinds of wage labor
B、consistently higher for male workers than for female workers
C、paid to male workers at more frequent intervals than to female workers
D、often paid partly in forms other than cash
E、often not recorded by employers
答案 D
