[問題] GRE OV閱讀一題 (P.22)

[thousandfish (我也還不確定 但是我媽之)]

While the best sixteenth-century Renaissance scholars mastered the classics of
ancient Roman literature in the original Latin and understood them in their
original historical context, most of the scholar's educated contemporaries
knew the classics only from school lessons on selected Latin texts. These were
chosen by Renaissance teachers after much deliberation, for works written by
and for the sophisticated adults of pagan Rome were not always considered
suitable for the Renaissance young: the central Roman classics refused (as
classics often do) to teach appropriate morality and frequently suggested
the opposite. Teachers accordingly made students' needs, not textual and
historical accuracy, their supreme interest, chopping dangerous texts into
short phrases, and using these to impart lessons extemporaneously on a variety
of subjects, from syntax to science. Thus I believe that a modern reader cannot
know the associations that a line of ancient Roman poetry or prose had for
any particular educated sixteenth-century reader.

=> 我的理解: 16世紀文藝復興的學者自己受教育時, 他們研究的羅馬經典文學未經篩選,
原汁原味.但是當他們把經典教給學生時,刪除了跟異教徒有關不恰當的部分,因此現在學生
學習到的只是片段的知識,散亂在各學科間.主旨是"文藝復興學者"與"現在學生"兩者學習
的不同

1. The passage is primarily concerned with discussing the
   A.unsuitability of the Roman classics for the teaching of morality
   B.approach that sixteenth-century scholars took to learning the Roman
     classics
   C.effect that the Roman classics had on educated people in the Renaissance
   D.way in which the Roman classics were taught in the sixteenth-century
   E.contrast between the teaching of the Roman classics in the Renaissance
     and the teaching of the Roman classics today

=> 答案是D 可是我認為E也正確 甚至比D更適合 因為有講到兩者的比較?另外D正確的話
   D與B的差別為何? 我也看不太出來@@

很好奇我是哪裡理解錯誤,請各位版友多多指教,謝謝!!

→ thousandfish: 不好意思我看懂了 自己解答 最後一句是說
→ thousandfish: 現在的讀者無法理解16世紀的讀者如何理解羅馬的
→ thousandfish: 的文句 因為16世紀的讀者歸點已被扭曲
→ thousandfish: 所以是從前文再延伸出來的結論
