Acting on the recommendation of a British government committee investigating the high incidence in white lead factories of illness among employees, most of whom were women, the Home Secretary proposed in 1895 that Parliament enact legislation that would prohibit women from holding most jobs in white lead factories.Although the Women’s Industrial Defence Committee (WIDC), formed in 1892 in response to earlier legislative attempts to restrict women’s labor, did not discountthe white lead trade’s potential health dangers, it opposed the proposal, viewing it as yet another instance of limiting women’s work opportunities.Also opposing the proposal was the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women (SPEW), which attempted to challenge it by investigating the causes of illness in white lead factories. SPEW contended, and WIDC concurred, that controllable conditions in such factories were responsible for the development of lead poisoning. SPEW provided convincing evidence that lead poisoning could be avoided if workers were careful and clean and if already extant workplace safety regulations were stringently enforced.However, the Women’s Trade Union League (WTUL), which had ceased in the late 1880’s to oppose restrictions on women’s labor, supported the eventually enacted proposal, in part because safety regulations were generally not being enforced in white lead factories, where there were no unions (and little prospect of any) to pressure employers to comply with safety regulations.

Q10: The passage is primarily concerned with
A.   presenting various groups’ views of the motives of those proposing certain legislation
B.   contrasting the reasoning of various groups concerning their positions on certain proposed legislation
C.   tracing the process whereby certain proposed legislation was eventually enacted
D.   assessing the success of tactics adopted by various groups with respect to certain proposed legislation
E.   evaluating the arguments of various groups concerning certain proposed legislation
答案是B --------我选了A ，不明白，我认为，文章根本就没有contrasting 的意思，就是presenting.

大家是怎么想的呢？好像听听大家是怎么选B的。~~~

我看了最后一句话，然后选择了B

How-
ever, the Women’s Trade
Union League (WTUL), which
had ceased in the late 1880’s
(45)to oppose restrictions on
women’s labor, supported the
eventually enacted proposal,
in part because safety regu-
lations were generally not
(50)being enforced in white lead
factories, where there were no
unions (and little prospect of
any) to pressure employers to
comply with safety regulations.
我想，文章的最后是关键

其实我也选了A。。up

我觉得A的motives不对， motives of those proposing certain legislation，并没有强调这个立法的动机丫~

文中列举了几个团体对一项法案的态度及原因。在选项中，说presenting和contrasting都可以。
选项A是错在views of the motives of those proposing certain legislation，这是说对那些提出法案者的【动机】的看法。
