杨继63篇里面的passage 2, 第三题In the context of the author’s discussion of regulating change, which of the following could be most probably regarded as a “strong referee” (line 30) in the United States?
(A) A school principal
(B) A political theorist
(C) A federal court judge
(D) A social worker
(E) A government inspector

正确答案是C，我十分不解，感觉原文中没有提过关于federal court judge的信息。回归原文定位处The nonstarters were considered the ones who wanted stability, a strong referee to give them some position in the race, a regulative 35)hand to calm manic speculation; an authority that can call things to a halt, begin things again from compensatorily staggered “starting lines.”
我当时选的错项是E。恳请高人指点！！ 谢谢！
