olitical histori-The fields of antebellum (pre-Civil
War) political history and women’s his-
tory use separate sources and focus
Line on separate issues. olitical histori-
(5) ans, examining sources such as voting
records, newspapers, and politicians’
writings, focus on the emergence in the
1840’s of a new “American political
nation,” and since women were neither
(10) voters nor politicians, they receive little
discussion. Women’s historians, mean-
while, have shown little interest in the
subject of party politics, instead draw-
ing on personal papers, legal records
(15) such as wills, and records of female
associations to illuminate women’s
domestic lives, their moral reform
activities, and the emergence of the
woman’s rights movement.
(20) However, most historians have
underestimated the extent and signifi-
cance of women’s political allegiance
in the antebellum period. For example,
in the presidential election campaigns
(25) of the 1840’s, the Virginia Whig party
strove to win the allegiance of Virginia’s
women by inviting them to rallies and
speeches. According to Whig propa-
ganda, women who turned out at the
(30) party’s rallies gathered information
that enabled them to mold party-loyal
families, reminded men of moral values
that transcended party loyalty, and con-
ferred moral standing on the party.
(35) Virginia Democrats, in response,
began to make similar appeals to
women as well. By the mid-1850’s
the inclusion of women in the rituals of
party politics had become common-
(40) place, and the ideology that justified
such inclusion had been assimilated
by the Democrats.
According to the second paragraph of the passage (lines 20-42), Whig propaganda included the assertion that
首先根据题目关键词，可以找到原文对应，仔细观察后发现两个关键点：Party’s rally & Moral values。再观察答案，排除后，初步可以定在CE中选择，但是在这里怎么选择呢？我怎么觉得C要好一些呢？？？
这里面有个概念的偷换。
开头讲：对于战前的历史，政治史学家和女性史学家从不同的角度看。政治史学家强调投票，报纸，writing什么什么的。女性史学家强调女性的民主生活，女权运动，还有moral reform activity（注意这个词是在这里出现的，这个行为是女性和政治无关的活动）。
第二段开头是中心局：但是他们都忽略了战前女性对政治的参与。这个propaganda只是inviting women to rallies and speeches，就像E里面说得presence，并没有女性的reform activity。
它这里就是利用前面读过reform activity的印象制造混淆。
呵呵，谢谢JJ的耐心解释，终于弄明白了，看来“对错误选项偷换概念”的忽视，的确是自己的一大弱点！！！
再次谢谢JJ，没想到第一次问问题，帖子就沉了，还好JJ细心，帮我解答！呵呵！
斑竹的解释太棒了。

就知道reform不太合适，现在才知道怎么个不合适，谢谢拉 
斑竹说的是很有道理，不过原文只是and conferred moral standing on the party.似乎和答案里的enhance有一定差距。
如果根据第二段的内容来理解，妇女以前从不涉足政治。而in the antebellum period她们开始参与，并有一定的活动。是不是可以广义上理解为women's reform activities呢？
太强了
