ecogo

Have done it
3 out of 4 are wrong and still don't understand why(even i check it again and understand the whole passage)
But I find my answer is the same as what metion above AAEB
Q25, I think it will be A, brif = related short period . U can find answer on the passage. but in choice D have "coincide with",but the passage states that Socilism do it for purpose, not coincide with.
Q26.Choice C more narrow is strange, so A will be more right
Q27, after check it again , I still think E is what the passage what to talk.
I still insist on my original answer.

Q27
Which of the following best states the function of the passage as a whole?
A.        To contrast the views held by the Socialist party and by the boycotting women of New York City on the cost-of-living issue
B.        To analyze the assumptions underlying opposing viewpoints within the New York socialist party of 1917
C.        To provide a historical perspective on different approaches to the resolution of the cost-of-living issue.
D.        To chronicle the sequence of events that led to the New York Socialist party’s emergence as a political power
E.        To analyze the motivations behind the socialist party’s involvement in the women’s suffrage movement

我支持C。
A选项的错误在“contrast views on the cost-of-living issue”上，中文意思是比较生活成本问题的观点。作者如果说：社会党认为生活成本不高，而妇女认为生活成本很高，这才叫比较观点。
而文章通篇介绍的是两个群体不同的斗争方法（approaches to the resolution）：社会党人支持union，而妇女选择直接抗议。

E的错误很明显，就在于women's suffrage movement。文章一共三段，其中两段都没提到这个词。

千古绝唱的一篇阅读。众说纷纭，考证繁多。真蛋疼。
