19. The author uses the adjective "simple" in line 6 most probably to emphasize that the

(A)            collection of census information became progressively more difficult throughout the nineteenth century

(B)            technology for tabulating census information was rudimentary during the first half of the nineteenth century

(C)           home-based agricultural economy of the early nineteenth century was easier to analyze than the later industrial economy

(D)           economic role of women was better defined in the early nineteenth century than in the late nineteenth century

(E)            information collected by early nineteenth-century censuses was limited in its amount of detail

答案：e

看过最后的解释

e的翻译是early nineteenth-century 的调查缺少细节

但be limited in 是受限制

那是不是应该译成early nineteenth-century 的调查只限于细节

也就是说这次调查的内容都是细节的

问题一定出在 be limited in 的理解上

请各位高手帮助 谢谢了
