DQ 25:

Which of the following studies would proceed in a

way most similar to the way in which, according to

the passage. Scharf’s book interprets Eleanor

Roosevelt’s career?

 

A.     An exploration of the activities of a wealthy

social reformer in terms of the ideals held

by the reformer

B.     A history of the leaders of a political party

which explained how the conflicting aims

of its individual leaders thwarted and

diverted the activities of each leader

C.     An account of the legislative career of a con-

servative senator which showed his goals to

have been derived from a national conser-

vative movement of which the senator was

a part

D.     A biography of a famous athlete which

explained her high level of motivation in terms

of the kind of family in which she grew up

E.      A history of the individuals who led the move-

ment to end slavery in the United States which

attributed the movement’s success to the

efforts of those exceptional individuals

请教 这种题目怎么做啊？ 完全不知道从何处入手

C.     An account of the legislative career of a conservative senator which showed his goals to
have been derived from a national conservative movement of which the senator was

a part

D.     A biography of a famous athlete which explained her high level of motivation in terms of the kind of family in which she grew up

    

    

Thanks to Scharf and others,Roosevelt’s activities—for example, her support both for A and for B—have become intelligible in terms of this social context rather than as the idiosyncratic career of
        a famous man’s wife.

这题我也错了.仔细比较c,d，感觉还是d好一些。“of which the senator was
a part”主要是不知道senator 作为一个part在movement中的作用，没准儿整个movement都是这个senator领导的，完全是他影响了别人，而未受别人影响呢。d就不一样了，family和social context都是作为外因影响athlete和Roosevelt的。

不知有没有道理啊~~继续讨论

I am almost certain that the correct answer is C,

because the whole passage of Scharf's Eleanor Rossevelt is discussing the SOCIAL BACKGROUND(that women put lots of efforts on reform)in Eleanor's time, not the FAMILY BACKGROUND of Eleanor herself.   

Please also note the key sentences and phrases from the author:

Thanks to Scharf and others, Roosevelt's activities-for example, her support both for labor laws protecting women and for appointments of women to high public office-have become intelligible in terms of this
        social context rather than as the idiosyncratic career of a famous man's wife. 

social context=social background=social environment

idiosyncratic:person's particular way of thinking, behaving, etc that is clearly different from that of others.

(hence, this vocabulary is more close to personal growing background , rather than social environment)

Lets go to the answer choices:

C: An account of the legislative career of a conservative senator which showed his goals to have been derived from a national conservative movement of which the senator was a part.

The senator's goals come from a national conservative movement of which the senator was a part.(=women's efforts on refrom during Eleanor's time. Eleanor was part of the activities as well.)

D: A biography of a famous athlete which explained her high level of motivation in terms of the kind of family in which she grew up.

This choice= Eleanor's motivation comes from her FAMILY BACKGROUND.

This answer choice is irrelevant, because it doesn't talk about Eleanor's SOCIAL BACKGROUND at all.

CORRECT ANSWER: C

我觉得应该是E啊，不就是通过对 这个阶层的妇女的描述，推广到罗斯福夫人身上的么，所以是E：对废除奴隶的人们的研究，推到特别出色的人。

个人倾向C

不过觉得C有一点不妥，原文是描述大环境来解释小个例，C说   An account of the legislative career of a conservative senator which showed his goals  tohave been derived from a national conservative movement of which the senator was a part，字面上理解是直接解释小个例，同时表明小个例来自大环境。

d,更好

Scharf’s book interprets Eleanor

Roosevelt’s career是通过biography来说明，答案自然要找相似的词，C通过An account of the legislative career 来说明，显然不对应，这种题目是要求对应的～OPEN TO DISCUSSION

请问Leoozop 是从哪里看出来通过biography 来写总统夫人的carrer 呢？

原文mentioned 过两个人的书： Lois的ER （这个是问题问的）　一个是Lash 的， 他的书原文才肯定说是biography 的描述啊
