原文如下
A portrait type that appeared with relentless frequency in eighteenth-century England is the familiar image of a gentleman poised with one hand inside his partially unbuttoned waistcoat. Standard interpretations of this portrait posture offer observations of correspondence----demonstrating either that it mirrors actual social behavior or that it borrows from classical statuary. Such explanations, however, illuminate neither the source of this curious convention nor the reason for its popularity. It is true that in real life the "hand-in" was a common stance for elite men. Still, there were other ways of comporting the body that did not become winning portrait formulas. And even if the "hand-in" portrait does resemble certain classical statues, what accounts for the adoption of this particular pose?

Which of the following might provide an explanation for the popularity of the hand-in portraits that would satisfy the author of the passage? Select ALL that apply.

A. An eighteenth-century English etiquette manual discussing the social implications of the "hand-in" stance.

B. A comprehensive catalogue of eighteenth-century English portraits that showed what proportion of portraits depicted gentlemen in the "hand-in" stance.

C. A passage from an eighteenth-century English novel in which a gentleman considers what stance to adopt when his portrait his painted. 答案是AC。

不太理解A，原文不是说了

原文不是说了social classical statuary 的解释是不能解释它的流行的吗......neither nor
那为什么可以A呢？
真心求教~谢谢！2.12就要考了

Keep in mind that the questions says: "which of the following might provide an explanation... that would satisfy the author of the passage?"
The key word here is "might." We don't need to look for something that would DEFINITELY provide an explanation that would satisfy the author. Instead, we need to think about what the author already knows, and ask ourselves whether each of the three sources can provide the author with new information. If a source cannot tell the author something that he / she does not know yet, then it cannot provide an explanation that would satisfy the author.
You're right that the 18th Century English etiquette manual (A) might actually have information that doesn't answer satisfy the author. However, it is definitely possible that the manual could have information that does satisfy the author. Therefore, we can say that A "might provide an explanation... that would satisfy the author." Therefore, A is correct :)
I hope that helps!
找到了一个magoosh的解答，觉得还很正确的……来分享讨论一下。我觉得看提干真的好重要……是might!!!!

这里说的such explanations是前面那个standard interpretations无法解释他的来源和流行原因

standard interpretations；可以得到解释的是这种姿势究竟是体现了现实生活中真实的样子还是对上层阶级的模仿
（照片上的你，是不是表现了生活中真实的你，还是你borrow的P图软件，借鉴了网红的拍照方法，我们是可以知道的）

然而，即使这个问题得到了解释，这个解释也没用，我们还是无法知道这种姿势的最初来源和流行原因
（但是，就算这是这张照片能展现真实的你，我们仍然不知道为什么你会这样展示自己，就算这是不是真正的你，我们也不知道你为什么会模仿这种姿势，为什么这种姿势会这么流行）

A 选项里的 etiquette manual 其实跟这句话没什么联系.这句话我觉得主要说得还是我们缺少足够的资料和证据. A项理解为如果有一本书上面写满了当下流行的拍照姿势，而且每个姿势还附带了social implications，那我们就能知道为什么这个姿势这么流行了（感觉有点像逻辑题了...
（比如剪刀手会让人显得很幼稚，中指意味着鄙视）

magoosh那个解释感觉说的废话...真实考试的时候技巧作用真的有限，一个句子读懂了就秒选，都不懂就认命吧...
