In her account of unmarried women’s experiences in colonial Philadelphia
, Wulf argues that educated young women, particularly Quakers, engaged in resistance to patriarchal marriage by exchanging poetry critical of marriage, copying verse into their commonplace books.Wulf suggests that this critique circulated beyond the daughters of the Quaker elite and middle class, whose commonplace books she mines, proposing that Quaker schools brought it to many poor female students of diverse backgrounds.
Here Wulf probably overstates Quaker schools’ impact.At least three years’ study would be necessary to achieve the literacy competence necessary to grapple with the material she analyzes. In 1765, the year Wulf uses to demonstrate the diversity of Philadelphia’s Quaker schools, 128 students enrolled in these schools.Refining Wulf's numbers by the information she provides on religious affiliation, gender, and length of study, it appears that only about 17 poor non-Quaker girls were educated in Philadelphia's Quaker schools for three years or longer.While Wulf is correct that a critique of patriarchal marriage circulated broadly, Quaker schools probably cannot be credited with instilling these ideas in the lower classes.Popular literary satires on marriage had already landed on fertile ground in a multiethnic population that embodied a wide range of marital beliefs and practices.These ethnic- and class-based traditions themselves challenged the legitimacy of patriarchal marriage.

The author of the passage implies which of the following about the poetry mentioned in the first paragraph?

A.Wulf exaggerates the degree to which young women from an elite background regarded the poetry as providing a critique of marriage.

B.The circulation of the poetry was confined to young Quaker women.

C.Young women copied the poetry into their commonplace books because they interpreted it as providing a desirable model of unmarried life.

D.The poetry’s capacity to influence popular attitudes was restricted by the degree of literacy necessary to comprehend it.

E.The poetry celebrated marital beliefs and practices that were in opposition to patriarchal marriage.

为什么选D     D的定位在第二段啊 E哪里错了？谢谢

首先需要题干，author of the passage implies

D的定位：Here Wulf probably overstates Quaker schools’ impact.At least three years’ study would be necessary to achieve the literacy competence necessary to grapple with the material she analyzes.的确不是在第一段，这个很苦恼。可是我觉得E也不太对，如下。

E的内容可以在原文找到，原文为Wulf argues that educated young women, particularly Quakers, engaged in resistance to patriarchal marriage by exchanging poetry critical of marriage, copying verse into their commonplace books.但是需要注意，这个是wulf argues的内容，不是author of the passage implies的内容，因为author在表明自己的态度的时候，没有任何字眼来暗示E选项的内容。

哦,所以说这种author implies的题目,千万要小心:原文中的学者的观点替换了作者的观点.至少,明确表明原文学者argue,suggest...的这些,不能算作是本文author的观点.
