Tocqueville, a nineteenth-century writer known for his study of democracy in the United States, believed that a government that centralizes power in one individual or institution is dangerous to its citizens. Biographers claim that Tocqueville disliked centralized government because he blamed Napoleon’s rule for the poverty of his childhood in Normandy.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the biographers’ claim?
(A) Although Napoleon was popularly blamed at the time for the terrible living conditions in Normandy, historians now know that bad harvests were really to blame for the poor economic conditions.
(B) Napoleon was notorious for refusing to share power with any of his political associates.
(C) Tocqueville said he knew that if his father had not suffered ill health, his family would have had a steady income and a comfortable standard of living.
(D) Although Tocqueville asserted that United Statespolitical life was democratic, the United States of the nineteenth century allowed political power to be concentrated in a few institutions.
(E) Tocqueville once wrote in a letter that, although his childhood was terribly impoverished, it was not different from the experience of his friends and neighbors in Normandy.
答案是C。
请NN们帮我解释一下说为什么A不对呢，我看过以前的讨论帖了，但是都是在讨论C是他因。我也认同C是他因。
但是为什么A不可以理解为他因，来削弱原文的argument呢？
黄皮书上的解释是这样说的：说有although的句子，句子后半句是重点，但是尽管如此，也完全有可能正是拿破仑的统治而导致了贫困。
那我想请问了，这个解释凭什么这么说，它说完全有可能是拿破仑的导致的，那我也可以这样说：完全有可能就是不好的收成导致了贫困啊~
望CD的NN们帮忙解解惑啊，非常感激~
