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.
官方版本的解释是“首先根据文中 unfortunately, 推测出作者做了一个否定的总结，然后两个例子，
一个承接否定，一个否定了原否定。选A”。
可是这里把“unfortunately”作为一个观点转折的信号来看，显然不对啊。因为“thus”开头的这句显然是顺接了开头的观点，继续说这样会有两个后果。
另外，接下来的文章结构显然也是在平行论述两种可能。“But on the other occasions”也不能被看成是作者用一种可能去否定前面的可能，而是叙述not relaxing 和 relaxing两种情况。
我觉得至少官方的解释显然是错了。
