Dickens is so brilliant a stylist, his vision of the world so idiosyncratic and yet so telling, that one might say that his subject is his unique rendering of his subject, in an echo of Rothko’s statement, “The subject of the painting is the painting”—except of course, Dickens’s great subject was nothing so subjective or so exclusionary, but as much of the world as he could render.(这句有点难) If Dickens’s prose fiction has “defects”—excesses of melodrama, sentimentality, contrived plots, and manufactured happy endings—these are the defects of his era, which for all his greatness Dickens had not the rebellious spirit to resist; he was at heart a crowd-pleaser, a theatrical entertainer, with no interest in subverting the conventions of the novel as his great successors D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf would have; nor did he contemplate the subtle and ironic counterminings of human relations in the way of George Eliot and Thomas Hardy, who brought to the English novel an element of nuanced psychological realism not previously explored. Yet among English writers Dickens is, as he once called himself, part-jesting and part-serious, “the inimitable.”

单选题：
According to the passage, as a result of Dicken’s disinclination to subvert the conventions of his time, his prose fiction is characterized by
A. “unique rendering of his subject”
B. “ironic counterminings”
C. “contrived plots”
D. “nuanced psychological realism”
E. “world so idiosyncratic”

多选题：
Which of the following regarding Dickens can be inferred from the passage?
A. He was aware of the stylistic conventions of his time.
B. He preferred to be exhaustive rather than selective.
C. He greatly influenced James Joyce and Virginia Woolf.

真巧刚在Magoosh做了。个人觉得这篇单就文章来说算挺好懂了，不过我还是错了第一题，选了A。

刚做Magoosh RC，个人觉得做过最难的一篇觉得是：To describe a style as Faulknerian or Beckettian。文章和答案都很抽象。

第二题C选项属于错误答案中 infer too much 的种类。
文章只提到这些人是他的后起之秀，并没有说他对他们的影响程度有多深，这个论断在原文里找不到支撑依据的。
