32. In the passage, the author anticipates which of the following as a possible objection to her argument?
(A) It is uncertain how many people actually migrated during the Great Migration.
(B) The eventual economic status of the Great Migration migrants has not been adequately traced.
(C) It is not likely that people with steady jobs would have reason to move to another area of the country.
(D) It is not true that the term “manufacturing and mechanical pursuits” actually encompasses the entire industrial
sector.
(E) Of the Black workers living in southern cities, only those in a small number of trades were threatened by
obsolescence.

C is the best answer. To answer this question, you must first identify the author’s argument. The
author argues that it is possible that Black migrants to the North were living and working in urban
areas of the South rather in rural areas, as researchers had previously assumed. In lines 44-48, the
author states that it may be “surprising” that an employed population would relocate. Thus, the
author anticipates an objection to her argument on the grounds that Black urban workers in the
South would have been unlikely to leave an economically secure existence. She meets that
objection by stating that “an explanation lies in the labor conditions then prevalent in the South”
(lines 46-48), and discusses the low wages that may have motivated Black workers to migrate
north for higher pay.

原文It is perhaps surprising to argue that an employed population could be enticed to move, but an explanation lies in the labor conditions then prevalent in the South.

这句话到底什么意思？是赞同that从句呢，还是不赞同？换句话说：it is perhaps surprising to argue是赞同还是不赞同？

还有og的整个答案解释我也绕不出来，谁给逐句分析分析怎么推导的？

原文It is perhaps surprising to argue that an employed population could be enticed to move, but an explanation lies in the labor conditions then prevalent in the South.这句话作者意思是，如果认为移民到北方去的人正是那些南方已有工作的工人的话，那这种想法可能会让人感到挺惊讶的。但这种现象其实没有什么可奇怪的，因为当时南方的劳动条件使然。

The author argues that it is possible that Black migrants to the North were living and working in urban areas of the South rather in rural areas, as researchers had previously assumed.
这一句ETS的解释明确反映了原文上一句中作者的观点，即移民是南方城市里的熟练工人而不是农村中的破产农民。

作者在此预期别人可能提出的置疑即，“南方城市里的黑人好端端的，为什么要跑到北方去呀？”这样一种置疑。从而说明自己的观点，即“南方的劳动条件使大批城市黑人工人移民到北方”这样一种观点。

顶。

Thus, a move north would be seen as advantageous

to a group that was already urbanized and steadily

employed

问题是最后一段的最后一句，和前面的矛盾啊
