GWD-3-Q35
GWD3-Q35 to Q37:

Historians who study European women of the Renaissance try to measure “independence,” “options,” and other indicators of the degree to which the expression of women’s individuality was either permitted or suppressed. Influenced by Western individualism, these historians define a peculiar form of personhood:an innately bounded unit, autonomous and standing apart from both nature and society.An anthropologist, however, would contend that a person can be conceived in ways other than as an “individual.”In many societies a person’s identity is not intrinsically unique and self-contained but instead is defined within a complex web of social relationships.

In her study of the fifteenth-century Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a historian who specializes in European women of the Renaissance attributes individual intention and authorship of actions to her subject.This historian assumes that Alessandra had goals and interests different from those of her sons, yet much of the historian’s own research reveals that Alessandra acted primarily as a champion of her sons’ interests, taking their goals as her own.Thus Alessandra conforms more closely to the anthropologist’s notion that personal motivation is embedded in a social context.Indeed, one could argue that Alessandra did not distinguish her personhood from that of her sons.In Renaissance Europe the boundaries of the conceptual self were not always firm and closed and did not necessarily coincide with the boundaries of the bodily self.

GWD-3-Q35:

The passage suggests that the historian mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42) would be most likely to agree with which of the following assertions regarding Alessandra Strozzi?

Alessandra was able to act more independently than most women of her time because she was a widow.

Alessandra was aware that her personal motivation was embedded in a social context.

Alessandra had goals and interests similar to those of many other widows in her society.

Alessandra is an example of a Renaissance woman who expressed her individuality through independent action.

Alessandra was exceptional because she was able to effect changes in the social constraints placed upon women in her society.

Explain: In her study of the fifteenth-centuryFlorentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, ahistorian who specializes in Europeanwomen of the Renaissance attributesindividual intention and authorship ofactions to her subject.

答案是D,我不理解的是，问题问的是，问斩干事这个在第二段的历史学家最有可能同意哪一个选项。
D说，Alessandra是文艺复兴时期的一个女的，通过作独立的事情，表达了她的个体性。
文中很明确地说这个历史学家后来的研究发现，Alessandra根本就没有独立性。此历史学家只是假设，她和她儿子有不同的目标，可后来发现，她虽然可能有自己的目标，但是却把儿子的目标当作自己的，完全是在帮儿子实现儿子的目标。（yet much of the historian’s own research reveals that Alessandra acted primarily as a champion of her sons’ interests, taking their goals as her own.）

为什么这个历史学家还会说Alessandra是表现独立的文艺复兴女性？

我认为要注意这段内容：This historian assumes that Alessandra had goals and interests different from those of her sons,yet much of the historian’s own research reveals that Alessandra acted primarily as a champion of her sons’ interests, taking their goals as her own.Thus Alessandra conforms more closely to the anthropologist’s notion that personal motivation is embedded in a social context.

这位历史学家虽然观点是认为Alessandra是崇尚独立的个体，但是其研究结果反倒证实了Alessandra最终无法脱离社会关系这一事实。说明研究成果没有直接支持他的主张。题目问的是主张（崇尚独立），不是结果。所以还是要选D。

蠻奇怪的，這個歷史學家得到結果不會改變他的想法嗎?
因為做了研究，發現結果與自己主張的不同，所以會同意自己的研究結果所做出的主張。
我認為D選項有些不對
希望有人幫我解答一下~
