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 significance
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.

“E不对。E对应第一段。第一段的内容只是个垫场，不是中心，后面马上就however了。而且E说的也太宽泛了，第一段也只是讲了他们在研究某一个问题上方法角度的不同。”
呵呵，再贴一下，给自己看。
是否HOWEVER后的就是中心句？
是否问PURPOSE的问题，只看中心句就好了？
Q4:
My answer: C
Look for the key sentence that puts forward the author's main idea:
However, most historians have
underestimated the extent and significance
of women’s political allegiance in the
antebellum period.
是否HOWEVER后的就是中心句？
是否问PURPOSE的问题，只看中心句就好了？
