问题 Writing about nineteenth-century women’s travel writing, Lila Harper notes that the four women she discussed used their own names, in contrast with the nineteenth-century female novelists who either published anonymously or used male pseudonyms. The novelists doubtless realized that they were breaking boundaries, whereas three of the four daring, solitary travelers espoused traditional values, eschewing radicalism and women’s movements. Whereas the female novelist criticized their society, the female travelers seemed content to leave society as it was while accomplishing their own liberation. In other words, they lived a contradiction. For the subjects of Harper’s study, solitude in both the private and public spheres prevailed—a solitude that conferred authority, hitherto a male prerogative, but that also precluded any collective action or female solidarity. [br] According to the passage, solitude had which of the following effects for the nineteenth century female travelers?
选项 A、It conferred an authority typically enjoyed only by men.
B、It prevented formation of alliances with other women.
C、It relieved peer pressure to conform to traditional values.
答案 B
解析 细节题。根据关键词solitude定位到文章最后一句。在最后一句中提到，孤独带给女性两方面影响——conferred authority，hitherto a male prerogative，对应A选项；precluded any collective action or female solidarity，对应B选项。答案选AB。
