        In a 1918 editorial, W.E.B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stopagitating for equality and to proclaim their solidarity with White Americansfor the duration of the First World War. The editorial surprised many AfricanAmericans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and achief opponent of the accommodationist tactics urged by Booker, T.Washington.In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum betweenWashington and confrontationists such as William Trotter. In 1895, whenWashington called on African Americans to concentrate on improving theircommunities instead of opposing discrimination and agitating for politicalrights, Du Bois praised Washington’s speech. In 1903, however, Du Bois alignedhimself with Trotter, Washington’s militant opponent, less for ideologicalreasons than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts tosilence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions.reflected not a change in his long-term goals but rather a pragmatic responsein the face of social pressure: government officials had threatened AfricanAmerican journalists with censorship if they continued to voice grievances.Furthermore, Du Bois believed that African Americans’ contributions to past warefforts had brought them some legal and political advances. Du Bois’accommodationism did not last, however. Upon learning of systematic discriminationexperienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to “returnfighting” from the war.

GWD-24-Q 25:

According to the passage, which of thefollowing is true of the strategy that Du Bois’ 1918 editorial urged AfricanAmericans to adopt during the First World War?

A.   It was a strategy that Du Bois had consistently rejectedin the past.

这道题我选的是A。 答案是E。E的内容我在原文中找不到。而A在文中提到“...The editorial surprised many African Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader..."也就是说editorial里提到的strategy (...proclaim solidarity with White Americans)不是Du Bois一贯所支持的。大家能不能看一下？ 谢谢！
