For many years, Benjamin Quarles’ seminal account of the participation of African Americans in the American Revolution has remained the standard work in the field. According to Quarles, the outcome of this conflict was mixed for African American slaves who enlisted in Britain’s fight against its rebellious American colonies in return for (in return for: adv.作为...的报答) the promise of freedom: the British treacherously resold many into slavery in the West Indies (the islands lying between SE N. America & N S. America bordering the Caribbean & comprising the Greater Antilles, Lesser Antilles, & Bahamas), while others obtained freedom in Canada and Africa. Building on Quarles’ analysis of the latter group, Sylvia Frey studied the former slaves who emigrated to British colonies in Canada. According to Frey, these refugees—the most successful of the African American Revolutionary War participants—viewed themselves as the ideological heirs of the American Revolution. Frey sees this inheritances reflected in their demands for the same rights that the American revolutionaries had demanded from the British: land ownership, limits to arbitrary authority and burdensome taxes, and freedom of religion.

19.        The author of the passage suggests that which of the following is true of Benjamin Quarles’ work?

(A) It introduced a new and untried research methodology.

(B) It contained theories so controversial that they gave rise to an entire generation of scholarship.

(C) It was a pioneering work that has not yet been displaced by subsequent scholarship.????????????????

(D) It launched the career of a scholar who later wrote even more important works.（C）

(E) At the time it appeared, its author already enjoyed a well-established reputation in the field.

c对应的是第一句 For many years, Benjamin Quarles’ seminal account of the participation of African Americans in the American Revolution has remained the standard work in the field.
E原文里面没提，没有讲作品出现时作者有没有reputation。

楼上讲的很对。。LZ对于E的问题也可以反问自己，为什么E对？文中并没有提到。。我猜测LZ可能也是根据the standard work推测出他获得了名誉。但是这个推测是按照我们的思路往前多进行了一步，也就是说the standard work=> people acknowledge now=> people respect the author.其中第二部推出的承认部分就是C，而最后一项关于REPUTE的部分就是E，这也就是说应该是想多了的问题。
