5.     Johnson is on firm ground when he asserts that the early editors of Dickinson’s poetry often distorted her intentions. Yet Johnson’s own, more faithful, text is still guilty of its own forms of distortion. To standardize Dickinson’s often indecipherable handwritten punctuation by the use of the dash is to render permanent a casual mode of poetic phrasing that Dickinson surely never expected to see in print. It implies that Dickinson chose the dash as her typical mark of punctuation when, in fact, she apparently never made any definitive choice at all.

Which of the following best summarizes the author’s main point?

(A) Although Johnson is right in criticizing Dickinson’s early editors for their distortion of her work, his own text is guilty of equally serious distortions.

(B) Johnson’s use of the dash in his text of Dickinson’s poetry misleads readers about the poet’s intentions.

(C) Because Dickinson never expected her poetry to be published, virtually any attempt at editing it must run counter to her intentions.

(D) Although Johnson’s attempt to produce a more faithful text of Dickinson’s poetry is well-meaning, his study of the material lacks sufficient thoroughness.（B）

(E) Dickinson’s editors, including Johnson, have failed to deal adequately with the problem of deciphering Dickinson’s handwritten manuscripts.

有读懂的xdjm能给解释一下这段话的意思吗？ 谢谢

J在断言早一些的对于D的诗歌编者 都歪曲了她的意图的时候他是有坚实基础的,可是J自己的文字事实上也还是一种歪曲.为了使D那些经常使用无法辨认的手写标点规范化而统一使用Dash是随意使用的修辞手法的D所不愿看到的，也就是说J统一使用Dash是D从来没有明显倾向选择的（所以J也歪曲，但是程度上要轻一些,　所以A不对，由于没有指明早一些的编者如何处理D的标点，E不对）同样C和D错

according to the given inofrmation, we could not be able to make a conclusiton that distortions are equally serious.

The author's emphasis is after the word "YET".  The author aimed to clarify that although Johnson criticized on the other's misleading work, himself was also suffering from the similar distortion problem.

文中说了，Yet Johnson’s own, more faithful, text...更加忠实于原著的

所以A中equally不对

Yet Johnson’s own, more faithful, text is still guilty of its own forms of distortion

个人觉得后面的表述都是为了解释这个～～就是j是怎么样distortＤ的poetry的～～～

This question is about the main purpose of the paragraph.

So our first reaction is not to analyze the correctness of each answer sentence itself, but what illustrate the main purpose. I think it is hard to find the minor mistake of the word"equally" when in high pressure of test.

The main purpose should be either from the first two sentence, as in most cases, which are more generalized, or from the rest part. In this case, the gravity of the paragraph goes to the second part.
