Recent scholarship has strongly suggested that the aspects of early New England culture that seem to have been most distinctly Puritan, such as the strong religious orientation and the communal impulse, were not typical of New England as a whole, but were largely confined to the two colonies of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Thus, what in contrast to the Puritan colonies appears to Professor Davis to be peculiarly Southern was not only more typically English than the cultural patterns exhibited by Puritan Massachusetts and Connecticut, but also almost certainly characteristic of most other early modern British colonies from Barbados north to Rhode Island and New Hampshire. Within the larger framework of American colonial life, then, not the Southern but the Puritan colonies appear to have been distinctive, and even they seem to have been rapidly assimilating to the dominant cultural patterns by the late Colonial period.

8. Which of the following statements could most logically follow the last sentence of the passage?

(A) Thus, had more attention been paid to the evidence, Davis would not have been tempted to argue that the culture of the South diverged greatly from Puritan culture in the seventeenth century.
(B) Thus, convergence, not divergence, seems to have characterized the cultural development of the American colonies in the eighteenth century.
(C) Thus, without the cultural diversity represented by the America South, the culture of colonial America would certainly have been homogeneous in nature.
(D) Thus, the contribution of Southern colonials to American culture was certainly overshadowed by that of the Puritans.

为神马选B啊？

首先讲到Puritan并不是whole New England的特点，而是局限在某几个地区。
然后介绍了非Puritan的地区和Puritan地区的文化等特点的区别。
出现not only.. but also..句型。优先关注but also之后的内容。
but also almost certainly characteristic of most other early modern British colonies from Barbados north to Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
讲到非Puritan的地区对于其它早期英伦殖民地特点的沿袭。这里表达了文化的交融性。
最后讲到，Puritan地区已经在众多非Puritan的地区变的很distinctive，那么说明大多数地区的文化都是趋向于和当地文化进行交融，虽然Puritan地区想不断对dominant的文化，即非Puritan的地区的文化进行同化。
那么说明在Within the larger framework of American colonial life下，文化的发展应该是相互交融，而不是简单的assimilating。
B选项反映了这种思想。
