Scholars often fail to see that music played an important
role in the preservation of African culture in the United States.
They correctly note that slavery stripped some cultural
elements from Black people-their political and economic
systems-but they underestimate the significance of music in
sustaining other African cultural values. African music, unlike
the music of some other cultures, was based on a total vision
of life in which music was not an isolated social domain. In
African culture music was pervasive, serving not only religion,
but all phases of life, including birth, death, work, and play.
Music, like art in general, was so inextricably a part of African
culture that it became a crucial means of preserving the
culture during and after the dislocations of slavery.

10. In the argument given , the two highlighted portions   
play which of the following roles?   
○ A   The first sentence introduces the topic of the
passage and the last one supports the main idea of
the passage.   
○ B   The first sentence presents a thesis and the last one   
further develops the thesis.   
○ C   The first sentence summarizes the main idea of the   
passage and the last one paraphrases it literally.   
○ D   The first sentence presents a context for the   
discussion of the passage and the last one   
evaluates the discussion.   
○ E   The first sentence presents the negative thesis of the   
passage and the last one presents the positive thesis.

文章看懂，答案E，但是不明白D为何不行，也很对啊。求指导，谢谢！

问题在于没理解“context”的含义，它不是“前提”的意思而是“背景知识”的意思
在这个段落里面，如果有context，context可能会说在某某世纪黑人奴隶制如何如何，the preservation of African culture 在美国怎么样实现的等等。或者，你一定读过36套里面很多长文章，有一部分长文章的第一段就是context

总之context 不等于 negative thesis

这个错误我以前也犯过
