虽然是老题了，我也错了，贡献下我的理解：
he does rightly see Jackson's tenure (the seventh presidency) as the culmination顶点of the acceptance of party, commerce, and individualism.他的确看到了J的任期内，政党、商业、个人的支持达到了最高点。
(A) Many supporters of Jackson resisted the commercialization that could result from participation in a national economy. 他的支持者却不支持商业化 least support
(B) Protest against the corrupt and partisan nature of political parties in the United States subsided消失during Jackson's presidency.  反对他的人逐渐消失了，支持
(C) During Jackson's presidency the use of money became more common than bartering of goods and services. Jackson  任职期间货币使用更频繁——商业化，支持
(D) More northerners than southerners supported Jackson because southerners were opposed to the development of a commercial economy.
北方支持者更多，反对商业经济的南方支持者少，支持
(E) Andrew Jackson did not feel as strongly committed to the classical ideals of leadership as George Washington had felt.
Jackson不象Washington那么忠于古典理想主义（非党派政治），支持
所以应该选A

这个题我也错了，转载一个老外的解释



Got a PM requesting that I look at this. Tough one!

Summary of passage:
P1
K argues that 1st 6 Ps differed for later Ps b/c 1st 6 had values from "classical humanist" (CH) tradition.
CH: gov't to make people better citizens. public good. NOT private desires / interests. Called to office; not supposed to run. Didn't like political parties b/c partial, self-interested.

P2
BUT, from start, CH was undermined by commerce. K does "rightly" show this from 7th P forward. Things became more partisan. CH became assoc. with privilege, aristocracy. K likes CH and doesn't realize it had drawbacks too. Eg, CH incompatible with freedom of speech, etc.

General point: CH was both good and bad, not all good as K argues

Question: what doesn't support the AUTHOR'S argument about commerce during J's presidency? This is sort of a cross between RC and a classic CR question - rare on the GMAT, but they can happen. So we have to respond accordingly. Take each statement and imagine that the author of the passage added it to the second paragraph - would that help the author's argument? If so, it's not the right answer.

Note: the passage author's argument - not Ketcham's POV.
look in P2
passage says:
"Jackson's tenure [was] the culmination of the acceptance of party, commerce, and individualism."
culmination = something that started before that point in time but really peaked at that time.
"nonpartisanship lost its relevance"
"under VanBuren, [the] party gained a new legitimacy"

Because the question is a LEAST question, four of the answers should provide support for the author's argument and one should not.

A) Jackson was for commerce. That wouldn't make much sense if "many" of his supporters were against it / resisted it.

B) Jackson's tenure was characterized by "the acceptance of party" whereas, prior to that time, "parties were partial, self-interested... serving something other than the transcendent public good." So if people didn't protest parties as much during his presidency, that would make sense - political parties were now accepted.

C) Jackson's tenure was also characterized by "the acceptance of... commerce." If people started using money more during Jackson's tenure, then that would make sense because commerce was now more accepted.

D) Jackson supported commerce. Groups that did support commerce would likely be for Jackson, then, and groups that did not support commerce would most likely NOT be for Jackson. If the southerners didn't like commerce, then it would make sense that they didn't support Jackson as much.

E) According to the passage, Washington was a proponent of CH. Jackson was not - he supported commerce, political parties, etc. CH is described in the passage as the "classical" point of view. Therefore, it makes sense to say that Jackson was not as strong a supporter of the classical POV as Washington was.

Manhattan的老外总结的很不错嘛！而且也用诸如CH这样的缩写，在逻辑中many - wouldn't make much sense讲得很好！

Q32  what is author's argument about commerce and political parties during Jackson's presidency?

答案定位 Jackson's tenure(the seventh presidency) as the culmination of the acceptance of party,commerce, and individualism.

找到作者观点后，就可以判断是support or weaken了。作者认为在Jackson的任期是对政党，商业和个人主义接受的程度最高的时期。

A.     Many supporters of Jackson resisted thecommercialization that could result from participation in a national economy.
很多Jackson的支持者反对商业化（weaken）

B.     Protest against the corrupt and partisan nature of political parties in the United States subsided during Jackson'spresidency.
那些认为政党的本质就是腐败和帮派的人（政党反对者）减少了（support）

C.     During Jackson's presidency the use of moneybecame more common than bartering of goods and services.
人们开始更多的使用货币而不是物物交易，更商业化了（support）

D.    More northerners than southerners supported Jackson because southerners were opposed to the development of a commercial economy.
北方的支持者比南方多，因为南方人反对商业化。也就是说支持者比反对者多（support）

E.     Andrew Jackson did not feel as strongly committed to the classical ideals of leadership as George Washington had felt.
Jackson 不像Washington那样注重classic leadership。也就是说J更倾向于parties， individualism（support）
