16. The primary purpose of the passage is to

(A)            explain and critique the methods used by early statisticians

(B)           compare and contrast a historical situation with a current-day one

(C)           describe and explain a historical change

(D)           discuss historical opposition to an established institution

(E)           trace the origin of a contemporary controversy

D       Lines 25-29 show that two groups pressed for greater accuracy, but that cannot be considered historical opposition since the groups did not oppose the census itself.

能不能解释下historical opposition在这里的意思?OG的意思是不是说:即使有了women employed outside the home和women keeping in house的准确统计,也不能认为是historical opposition?

OG解释说的two groups是指：women advocates and women statisticians.

原文只是说women advocates and women statisticians press for more thorough and accurate accounting ... , 但是这并不是反对人口普查局本身，所以不能说是一个“historical opposition”。
