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] In the context of the passage, the highlighted sentence serves to
选项 A、qualify a point made in the preceding sentence
B、correct an erroneous assumption
C、provide evidence in support of a perception cited in the opening sentence
D、provide a rationale for the view expressed in the following sentence
E、establish the popularity of a point of view
答案 A
解析 本题属于句子功能题，正确答案是定位句的3s版本，因此正确选项应该体现“少量运动起源于其他国家”。前一句的观点是“起源于北美”，定位句则是承认还有少量运动不起源于北美，因此限定了前一句，符合本句3s版本，选项A正确。注：当qualify的宾语是观点的时候，翻译成“限定”，意指不完全的否定，目的是让其限定的观点没有那么极端。B项erroneous作动词意为“纠正”，程度比选项A中的qualify要强，指的是推翻一个观点之后再提出一个新观点，原文标黑体句子只是针对布林的观点做出限制。而非纠正。C项首句的3s版本指的是北美。不符合标黑体句子的3s版本。D项后一句的3s版本尽管和标黑体句子的一样，但是并非是布林的观点，因此不能是标黑体句子给后一句提供依据。E项a point of view指代不明。
