标题: GWD-3 请各位NN解惑
Many scholars have theorized that economic development, particularly industrialization and urbanization, contributes to the growth of participatory democracy; according to this theory, it would seem logical that women would both demand and gain suffrage in ever greater numbers whenever economic development expanded their economic opportunities. However, the economic development theory is inadequate to explain certain historical facts about the implementation of women’s suffrage. For example, why was women’s suffrage, instituted nationally in the United States in 1920, not instituted nationally in Switzerland until the 1970’s? Industrialization was well advanced in both countries by 1920: over 33 percent of American workers were employed in various industries, as compared to 44 percent of Swiss workers. , Switzerland and the United States diverged in the degree to which the expansion of industry coincided with the degree of urbanization: only 29 percent of the Swiss population lived in cities of 10,000 or more inhabitants by 1920. However, urbanization cannot fully explain women’s suffrage. Within the United States prior to 1920, for example, only less urbanized states had granted women suffrage. Similarly, less urbanized countries such as Cambodia and Ghana had voting rights for women long before Switzerland did. It is true that Switzerland’s urbanized cantons (political subdivisions) generally enacted women’s suffrage legislation earlier than did rural cantons.However, these cantons often shared other characteristics—similar linguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties—that may help to explain this phenomenon.
The passage states which of the followingabout Switzerland’surbanized cantons?
A. Thesecantons shared characteristics other than urbanization that may havecontributed to their implementation of women’s suffrage.
B. Thesecantons tended to be more politically divided than were rural cantons.
C. Thesecantons shared with certain rural cantons characteristics such as similarlinguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties.
D. Thepopulations of these cantons shared similar views because urbanizationfurthered the diffusion of ideas among them.
E. Thesecantons were comparable to the most highly urbanized states in the United Statesin their stance toward the implementation of women’s suffrage.
A为正确答案。我精读后选了A,这道细节题其实是偏向于主旨题的,单看文章中这句来解题会偏离正确答案。但是如果拿细节来说,选项C几乎和文章一模一样。我在这两个选项之间很困惑。请各位NN指导为何C不可能是正确答案?先谢谢啦 ;-D

这题我也有问题
首先c错的很明显,因为certain rural cantons characteristics与similarlinguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties.一点关系也没有,这个rural是突然冒出来的
我的问题是a,other than 等于except,是不包扩在内的除了,那么这句话就成了他们有共同点,但是这些共同点里没有 urbanization,跟文章不一样啊。文章明显是说urbanization与other characteristics都有的
