Addison’s Cato, highlypraised in Johnson’s day for its “correctness,” is damned with faint praise byJohnson: “Cato affords a splendidexhibition of artificial and fictitious manners, and delivers just and noblesentiments, in diction easy, elevated, and harmonious, but its hopes and fearscommunicate no vibration to the heart.” Wordsworth could hardly demur.
      According to the passage, Johnson’s opinion of Addison’s Cato was
(A) roundly condemnatory

(B) somewhatself-contradictory
(C) ultimately negative
(D) effusively adulatory（C）
(E) uncharacteristicallybold
答案选C 我选的A
怎么看怎么分析我都觉得是roundly condemnatory啊，先表扬了，再批评，不是roundly吗？
我觉得比C更好啊 C只有说出来了最终是否定的...
有一点我不明白难道是condemn不适合这里的语境？谴责？不适合？
纠结啊~！！！
