LineTwo works published in 1984 demonstrate contrasting approaches to writing the history of United States women. Buel and Buel's biography of Mary Fish (1736-1818) makes little effort to place (5)her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women (10) gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. Although both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women's status, only Lebsock's deals with it directly. She examines (15) several different aspects of women's status, helping to refine and resolve the issues. She concludes that while women gained autonomy in some areas, especially in the private sphere, they lost it in many aspects of the economic sphere. More importantly, (20) she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. Yet women also gained power in (25) comparison with their previous status, owning a higher proportion of real estate, for example. In contrast, Buel and Buel's biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the (30) eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women's status.

原文： high黄处是出题点。

77.The author of the passage mentions the supervision of schools primarily in order to A) remind readers of the role education played in the cultural changes of the nineteenth century in the United States B) suggest an area in which nineteenth-century American women were relatively free to exercise power C) provide an example of an occupation for which accurate data about women's participation are difficult to obtain D) speculate about which occupations were considered suitable for United States women of the nineteenth century E) illustrate how the answers to questions about women's status depend on particular contexts

答案选E。 不理解为什么是E啊？是不是frames of reference就等于E中得context？
谢谢各位大神了！

OG的解释是：Answering this question depends on understanding what role a particular piece of information plays in the passage as a whole. The
author implicitly supports Lebsock's contention (beginning at line 19) that different frames of reference can produce different perspectives on
the debate about women's status in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The author then summarizes different contexts cited by Lebsock to
support the contention about frames of reference. As part of this summary, the author refers to supervising schools (line 23) as an example of a job
that apparently showed women losing power.

ECorrect. The passage mentions supervising schools as part of an illustration of Lebsock's claim that the debate about women's status
depends on the context being examined.


ECorrect. The passage mentions supervising schools as part of an illustration of Lebsock's claim that the debate about women's status
