When Jamaican-born social activist Marcus Garvey came to the United States in 1916, he arrived at precisely the right historical moment. What made the moment right was the return of African American soldiers from the First World War in 1918, which created an ideal constituency for someone with Garvey's message of unity, pride, and improved conditions for African American communities.
Hoping to participate in the traditional American ethos of individual success, many African American people entered the armed forces with enthusiasm, only to find themselves segregated from white troops and subjected to numerous indignities. They returned to a United States that was as segregated as it had been before the war. Considering similar experiences, anthropologist Anthony F. C. has argued that when a perceptible gap arises between a culture's expectations and the reality of that culture, the resulting tension can inspire a revitalization movement: an organized, conscious effort to construct a culture that fulfills long standing expectations.
Some scholars have argued that Garvey created the consciousness from which he built, in the 1920s, the largest revitalization movement in African American history. But such an argument only tends to obscure the consciousness of identity, strength, and sense of history that already existed in the African American community. Garvey did not create this consciousness; rather, he gave this consciousness its political expression.
16.    It can be inferred from the passage that the "scholars" mentioned in line 24 believe which of the following to be true?
(A) Revitalization resulted from the political activism of returning African American soldiers following the First World War.
(B) Marcus Garvey had to change a number of prevailing attitudes in order for his mass movement to find a foothold in the United States.
(C) The prevailing sensibility of the African American community provided the foundation of Marcus Garvey's political appeal.
(D) Marcus Garvey hoped to revitalize consciousness of cultural and historical identity in the African American community.
(E) The goal of the mass movement that Marcus Garvey helped bring into being was to build on the pride and unity among African Americans.

16题问： It can be inferred from the passage that the "scholars" mentioned in line 24 believe which of the following to be true?

按OG解释，需要 infer from 的是 “Scholars"的观点。但我理解这个提问本身是 inferred from the passage, 后面that是修饰passage的，这样理解的话，就是 inferred from 第三段，也就是说是作者的观点。这样的话就完全两个方向了，如果基于这种理解，那么我认为答案是C。

我知道OG不可能错，但有谁能帮我解释一下，这个问题吗？

谢谢！

你注意下这句话，这句是说 consciousness of identity, strength, and sense of history已经存在了。注意这句开始的连词是but，这就意味着这句话的意思和前一句（Some scholars have argued that Garvey created the consciousness from which he built, in the 1920s, the largest revitalization movement in African American history）的意思相反。和已经存在的东西相反意思就是得创造点什么东西。自然就选B了
