xdf51 这个appreciation是什么意思?谢谢!

Passage 51
     When A. Philip Randolph assumed the leadership of the
   Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, he began a ten-year
   battle to win recognition from the Pullman Company, the
   largest private employer of Black people in the United
(5) States and the company that controlled the railroad
   industry's sleeping car and parlor service. In 1935 the
   Brotherhood became the first Black union recognized by a
   major corporation. Randolph's efforts in the battle helped
   transform the attitude of Black workers toward unions and
(10) toward themselves as an identifiable group; eventually,
   Randolph helped to weaken organized labor's antagonism
   toward Black workers.

      In the Pullman contest Randolph faced formidable
    obstacles. The first was Black workers' understandable
( 15)    skepticism toward unions, which had historically barred
    Black workers from membership.
An additional obstacle
    was the union that Pullman itself had formed, which
   weakened support among Black workers for an
   independent entity.
(20) The Brotherhood possessed a number of advantages,
   however, including Randolph's own tactical abilities. In
   1928 he took the bold step of threatening a strike against
   ullman. Such a threat, on a national scale, under Black
   leadership, helped replace the stereotype of the Black
(25)worker as servant with the image of the Black worker as
   wage earner. In addition, the porters' very isolation aided
   the Brotherhood. Porters were scattered throughout the
   country, sleeping in dormitories in Black communities;
   their segregated life protected the union's internal
(30) communications from interception. That the porters were a
   homogeneous group working for a single employer with
   single labor policy, thus sharing the same grievances from
   city to city, also strengthened the Brotherhood and encour-
   aged racial identity and solidarity as well. But it was only
(35) in the early 1930's that federal legislation prohibiting a
   company from maintaining its own unions with company
   money eventually allowed the Brotherhood to become
   recognized as the porters' representative.
   Not content with this triumph, Randolph brought the
(40) Brotherhood into the American Federation of Labor, where
   it became the equal of the Federation'sm 105 other unions.
   He reasoned that as a member union, the Brotherhood
   would be in a better position to exert pressure on member
   unions that practiced race restrictions. Such restrictions
   were eventually found unconstitutional in 1944.

2. In using the word "understandable" (line 14), the
   author most clearly conveys
  (A) sympathy with attempts by the Brotherhood
     between 1925 and 1935 to establish an independent
     union.
  (B) concern that the obstacles faced by Randolph
     between 1925 and 1935 were indeed formidable
  (C) ambivalence about the significance of unions to
     most Black workers in the 1920's.
  (D) appreciation of the attitude of many Black workers
     in the 1920's toward unions.
  (E) regret at the historical attitude of unions toward
     Black workers.

答案D。正常而言,appreciation应该是感激的意思。不晓得这里是什么意思?原文看不出类似的含义呀?
