verbal第67题

原文第一段：
In a 1918 editorial, W. E. B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stop agitating for equality and to proclaim their solidarity with White Americans for the duration of the First World War. The editorial surprised many African Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the accommodationist tactics urged by Booker T. Washington. In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists such as William Trotter. In 1895, when Washington called on African Americans to concentrate on improving their communities instead of opposing discrimination and agitating for political rights, Du Bois praised Washington’s speech. In 1903, however, Du Bois aligned himself with Trotter, Washington’s militant opponent, less for ideological reasons than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions.

题目：
The author of the passage refers to Washington’s call to African Americans in 1895 primarily in order to
(A) identify Du Bois’s characteristic position on the continuum between accommodationism and confrontationism
(B) explain why Du Bois was sympathetic with Washington’s views in 1895
(C) clarify how Trotter’s views differed from those of Washington in 1895
(D) support an assertion about Du Bois’s tendency to shift his political positions
(E) dismiss the claim that Du Bois’s position in his 1918 editorial was consistent with his previous views
答案是D，但感觉A选项说的不是差不多一回事儿吗？A为什么不对哇？

同问这题，虽然理解D是正确的，如何排除B？
sympathetic不是有赞同的意思

看到in fact了吗，GMAC在说“我是重点”，however也在提醒你，“我真的是重点！”，那我们看看重点到底在说啥，原来是说DB是墙头草，说了还不够，还举例加强，题目问的1895就是这个例子。为了证明前面那句话。
找准重点，明白作者想要说什么。

In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists such as William Trotter.

然后举例说明1895年咋样咋样，1903年又咋样咋样

两个例子都来说明上面的often shifted positions
