原文：
It would be expected that a novel by a figure as prominent as W. E. B. DuBois would
attract the attention of literary critics. Additionally, when the novel subtly engages the
issue of race, as DuBois’ The Quest of the Silver Fleece (1911) does, it would be a sur-
prise not to encounter an abundance of scholarly work about that text. But though
valuable scholarship has examined DuBois’ political and historical thought, his novels
have received scant attention. Perhaps DuBois the novelist must wait his turn behind
DuBois the philosopher, historian, and editor. But what if the truth lies elsewhere: what
if his novels do not speak to current concerns?
题目：
16.  Which of the following best describes the central issue with which the passage is
concerned?
 A   The perfunctoriness of much of the critical work devoted to DuBois’
novels
 B   The nature of DuBois’ engagement with the issue of race in The Quest of
the Silver Fleece
 C   Whether DuBois’ novels are of high quality and relevant to current
concerns
 D   The relationship between DuBois the novelist and DuBois the philosopher,
historian, and editor
 E   The degree of consideration that has been given to DuBois’ novels,
including The Quest of the Silver Fleece
我选的C，因为觉得讲到现状的只有中间一句，剩下的都是在讲应不应该受关注。但是答案是E.
不明白，求解惑。。谢谢~
