Context

One of the principal themes of Walzer\'s critique of liberal capitalism is that it is insufficiently egalitarian. Walzer\'s case against the economic inequality generated by Line capitalism and in favor of \"a radical redistribution of wealth\" is presented in a widely cited essay entitled \"In Defense of Equality.\" The most striking feature of Walzer\'s critique is that, far from rejecting the principle of reward according to merit, Walzer insists on its validity. People who excel should receive the superior benefits appropriate to their excellence. But people exhibit a great variety of qualities—\"intelligence, physical strength, agility and grace, artistic creativity, mechanical skill, leadership, endurance, memory, psychological insight, the capacity for hard work—even moral strength, sensitivity, the ability to express compassion.\"Each deserves its proper recompense, and hence a proper distribution of material goods should reflect human differences as measured on all these different scales. Yet, under capitalism, the ability to make money (\"the green thumb of bourgeois society\")enables its possessor to acquire almost \"every other sort of social good,\" such as the respect and esteem of others.

Q

6. The author implies that Walzer\'s interpretation of
the principle of reward according to merit is distinctive for its
○A insistence on maximizing everyone\'s rewards
○B emphasis on equality
○C proven validity
○D broad conception of what constitutes merit
○E broad conception of what constitutes a reward

答案是D，理由我理解，但是为什么就不能选C？难道就是因为说了imply所以必须绕个弯么...

题目问的的是w对principle of reward的理解之所以distinctive是因为什么。proven validity能体现的是w的态度，但其指出merit的意义应该更广泛才是与众不同之处。
不知道lz能理解不，咱可以再讨论。

关键句是“The most striking feature of Walzer\'s critique is...insist on validity",因为说了striking feature我就判断这就是distinctive的地方，而不仅是态度

哦，我理解你为什么会这么想了。你把题干中的“its”理解为"the principle of reward的。。。"了吧，然后就和文中的its validity对应起来了。但句子问的是：W‘s interpretation is distinctive for its。。。？是说W的interpretation怎样怎样，和文中的its validity指代的the principle of reward不是一回事。

定位在most striking那没错，但那句话并没有说完，加上后面but之后的转折才构成整个W的看法，同时也说明了其distinctive的原因。

你讲的没错..不过我在阅读时理解还是正确的，审题时也理解，一到一个一个看选项就犯错了...
