Discussion of the assimilation of Puerto Ricans in the United States has focused on two different factors: social standing and the loss of national culture, depending on whether the commentator is North American or Puerto Rican. Many North American social scientists consider Puerto Ricans as the most recent in a long line of ethnic entrants to occupy the lowest rung on the social ladder. Such a ―socio-demographic‖ approach tends to regard assimilation as a benign process. In contrast, the ―colonialist‖ approach of island-based writers tends to view assimilation as the forced loss of national culture in an unequal contest with imposed foreign values. There is, of course, a strong tradition of cultural accommodation among other Puerto Rican thinkers, like Eugenio Fernandez Mendez. But the Puerto Rican intellectuals who have written most about the assimilation process in the United States all advance cultural nationalist views, advocating the preservation of minority cultural distinctions and rejecting what they see as the subjugation of colonial nationalities.

7. It can be inferred from the passage that a writer such as Eugenio Fernandez Mendez would most likely agree with which of the following statements concerning members of minority ethnic groups?
(A) It is necessary for the members of such groups
to adapt to the culture of the majority.
(E) The assimilation of members of such groups
requires the forced abandonment of their
authentic national roots.
求问E为何不对？
我的定位来自于这句话：
In contrast, the ―colonialist‖ approach of island-based writers tends to view assimilation as the forced loss of national culture in an unequal contest with imposed foreign values. There is, of course, a strong tradition of cultural accommodation among other Puerto Rican thinkers, like Eugenio Fernandez Mendez.

谢过！

你定位的两句话的意思相反。EFM是other Puerto Rican thinkers, 持跟前面那句话的相反观点。

就是说in contrast正好就是there is 的前后观点？
那在阅读的时候怎么判断= =
实在感觉没有办法，感觉两个解释都通啊

这题的关键在于这句话中的“of course”的让步：
There is, of course, a strong tradition of cultural accommodation among other Puerto Rican thinkers, like Eugenio Fernandez Mendez.
在Pueto Rican thinker中其实也有两派，主流的是反对文化的assimilation，还有一小搓人提倡cultural accommodation，文化适应。此两派人又都是Puerto Rican文化派的，与北美社会派不同。

如何就专门从这句话看出分两派的？
我现在的水平只能粗暴的分成两派，一派是P Rican 另一派是非P

没看懂你在说什么。
In contrast那一句是一种观点：forced loss of national culture
There is那一句是另外一种观点： cultural accommodation
E选项是出现在In contrast那一句，显然不是EFM的观点。

PR派中的反对文化侵略派 ：In contrast, the ―colonialist‖ approach of island-based writers tends to view assimilation as the forced loss of national culture in an unequal contest with imposed foreign values.

of course起到让步转折的作用

PR派中的文化适应派：There is, of course, a strong tradition of cultural accommodation among other Puerto Rican thinkers, like Eugenio Fernandez Mendez.

此题的难点在于cultural assimilation（as the forced loss of national culture in an unequal contest）和cultural accommodation的理解，需要背景知识。如果外国的文化侵略进来，有一方说我们要抵制，有一方说我们要适应adaptive。
