单选题 . ①The condition of scholarship devoted to the history of women in photography is confounding. ②Recent years have witnessed the posthumous inflation of the role of the hobbyist Alice Austen into that of a pioneering documentarian while dozens of notable senior figures—Marion Palfi, whose photographs of civil-rights activities in the South served as early evidence of the need for protective legislation, to name one—received scant attention from scholars. ③And, while Naomi Rosenblum's synoptic History of Women Photographers covers the subject through 1920 in a generally useful fashion, once she reaches the 1920s, when the venues, forms, applications, and movements of the medium expanded exponentially, she resorts to an increasingly terse listing of un-familiar names, with approaches and careers summarized in a sentence or two.

32. The author of the passage cites Rosenblum's book most likely in order to ______

A、 suggest that the works documented most thoroughly by historians of women in photography often do not warrant that attention
B、 offer an explanation for the observation that not all aspects of the history of women in photography have received the same level of attention
C、 provide an example of a way in which scholarship on the history of women in photography has been unsatisfactory
D、 suggest that employing a strictly chronological approach when studying the history of women in photography may be unproductive
E、 provide support for the notion that certain personalities in women's photography have attained undue prominence

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】 C：本文是总分结构，后两句均为第①句的例子，因此②③两句的3s版本均和第①句的一样，选项C正确。unsatisfactory对应第①句的confounding。
A：文中未提及。
B：observation的内容是对的，根据第②句，1920年罗森布鲁姆研究得很认真，但是1920年代就敷衍了事了，这对应选项B的“并非所有方面都得到了同样水平的研究”，但是本句没有“解释”这种观察为什么会发生。
D：文中未提及。
E：文中未提及。
