答案
A
解析
This question asks you to consider the effect that certain additional information would have on the strength of an explanation provided in the passage. The correct answer choice will be the one that would, if true, most weaken the explanation. Choice A is the best answer. The human capital theory explanation posits that women were more likely to take jobs that could be done at home because that allowed the women also to attend to domestic child-rearing duties. If women had been unlikely to work outside the home even in jobs with hours flexible enough to accommodate domestic work as well, then the need to attend to domestic tasks would not appear to be a sufficient explanation for the high concentrations of women who opted to work at home. Choice B is incorrect because a differential teaching of occupational skills by parents to their children according to gender does not weaken the human capital theory explanation. Choice C is incorrect: since women who worked at home and women who worded outside the home were all part of the paid labor force, a growth in the female paid labor force would not necessarily weaken the human capital theory explanation. Choice D is not correct because the explanation asserts that women tended to choose weaving as an occupation because it allowed them to stay home and attend to child rearing. If the vast majority of female weavers had children this would support the explanation, not weaken it. Choice E is incorrect. If the Florentine silk industry was a high-skilled sector of the weaving industry, the human capital theory explanation would lead you to expect few women to be employed in that sector. Thus choice E, rather than weakening the explanation, accords with it.
