In Hardy‘s novels, various impulses were sacrificed to
each other inevitably and often. Inevitably, because Hardy
did not care in the way that novelists such as
Line Flaubert or James cared, and therefore took paths of least
5  resistance. Thus, one impulse often surrendered to a
fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a
compromise, simply disappeared. A desire to throw over
reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to
the desire on the part of what we might consider a
10  novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the
structure and texture of a flower. In this instance, the new
impulse was at least an energetic one, and thus its
indulgence did not result in a relaxed style. But on other
occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly
15  energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the
fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize
abstractly. When a relaxing impulse was indulged, the
style—that sure index of an author‘s literary worth—was
certain to become verbose. (167 words）

5. Which of the following statements best describes
   the organization of the passage (―Thus…abstractly‖)?
   (A) The author makes a disapproving
      observation and then presents two cases,
      one of which leads to a qualification of
      his disapproval and the other of which
      does not.
   (B) The author draws a conclusion from a
      previous statement, explains his
      conclusion in detail, and then gives a
      series of examples that have the effect of
      resolving an inconsistency.
   (C) The author concedes a point and then
      makes a counterargument, using an
      extended comparison and contrast that
      qualifies his original concession.
(D) The author makes a judgment, points out
      an exception to his judgment, and then
      contradicts his original assertion.
   (E) The author summarizes and explains an
      argument and then advances a brief
      history of opposing arguments.

正确答案A，为啥不选C?

当时也纠结很久的题。我的理解如下，同参考和探讨。

C选项描述的是作者先同意了一个观点，然后通过提出相对的观点，然后对两者进行对比和对照，最后限制了他之前的观点。所以，作者前后的观点并没有不同，只是同意的程度不一样了。再回头看这段文字，很明显，一开始作者用unfortunately显示了负态度，但是在一系列的讨论之后作者认为用一种impulse去替代另一种impulse而不是将二者妥协是有一定的好处的。同时，我觉得文章中没有显示出明显的comparison和contrast的内容，拿谁和谁比呢？举出的两个case是hardy的作品的两个方面，而不是对比和对照关系，所以就这点而言C也不对。

越说越乱，希望能有帮助。
