根据“Western women missionaries working abroad”,全文只有第一段在主要描述Western,因此,定位原文于
“Beginning in the 1870s, increasingly large numbers of women were forming women’s foreign mission societies dedicated to the support of women’s foreign mission work. Beyond giving the women who organized the societies a formal activity outside their home circles, these organizations enabled an increasing number of single women missionaries (as opposed to women who were part of the more typical husband-wife missionary teams) to work abroad.”
推断与此相反的事实为
“Most women missionaries working abroad before the 1870s were married to men who were also missionaries”
8(D)
根据“exclusively male”定位原文
“What money was spent on foreign missions was under the control of exclusively male foreign mission boards whose members were uniformly uneasy about the new idea of sending single women out into the mission field.”
后面红色字体表明当时board对single woman出国活动的担心,再联系妇女出国活动变化的上下文即可推知
“Help account for the attitude of foreign mission boards towards sending single women missionaries abroad”
