一道题不解, 请高人指教, 关于OG Verbal文章 Nightingale

问一下这篇文章第三段的第2,3两句话到底什么意思, 主语分别是什么? 我怎么看来看去和全文没有什么关系呀? 对应的问题27也那不太准.

望高手指教!

Two recent publications offer different assessments of the career of the famous British nurse Florence Nightingale. A book by Anne Summers seeks to debunk the idealizations and present a reality at odds with Nightingale's heroic reputationAccording to SummersNightingale's importance during the Crimean War has been exaggeratednot until near the war's end did she become supervisor of the female nursesAdditionally, Summers writes that the contribution of the nurses to the relief of the wounded was at best marginalThe prevailing problems of military medicine were caused by army organizational practices, and the addition of a few nurses to the medical staff could be no more than symbolicNightingale's place in the national pantheonSummers assertsis largely due t0 the propagandistic efforts of contemporary newspaper reporters

    By contrast, the editors of a new volume of Nightingale's letters view Nightingale as a person who significantly influenced not only her own age but also subsequent generationsThey highlight her ongoing efforts to reform sanitary conditions after the warFor examplewhen she learned that peacetime living conditions in British barracks were so horrible that the death rate of enlisted men far exceeded that of neighboring civilian populationsshe succeeded in persuading the government to establish a Royal Commission on the Health of the Army. She used sums raised through public contributions to found a nurses’ training hospital in LondonEven in administrative mattersthe editors assert, her practical intelligence was formidableas recently as 1947 the British Army's medical services were still using the cost-accounting system she had devised in the 1860’s.

    I believe that the evidence of her letters supports continued respect for Nightingale's brilliance and creativity. When counseling a village schoolmaster to encourage children to use their faculties of observationshe sounds like a modern educatorHer insistence on classifying the problems of the needy in order to devise appropriate treatments is similar to the approach of modern social workersIn sumalthough Nightingale may not have achieved all of her goals during the Crimean War, her breadth of vision and ability to realize ambitious projects have earned her an eminent place among the ranks of social pioneers


Questions 22-28 refer to the passage above.


27 Which of the following is an assumption Underlying the author's assessment of Nightingale's creativity?

(A)  Educational philosophy in Nightingale's day did not normally emphasize developing children's ability to observe

(B)  Nightingale was the first to notice the poor living conditions in British military barracks in  peacetime

(C)  No educator before Nightingale had thought to enlist the help of village schoolmasters in  Introducing new teaching techniques

(D)  Until Nightingale began her workthere was no concept of organized help for the needy in nineteenth-century Britain

(E)  The British Army's medical services had no cost-accounting system until Nightingale devised one in the 1860’s

Hi - 第6题很疑惑。GMATCLUB上也没有合适的答疑。但是在网上找到了这篇分析答疑,觉得很有用。发出来分享。
重点在于排除掉包含了绝对用词的选项,且原文中没提到的细节不能自己脑补完就选了,一定要紧跟原文。
回过头来看,第六题正确选项A的"normally"是一个很中和且不极端的词,容纳了有文中没提到的exception的可能性。
