Students of United States history, seeking to identify the circumstances that encouraged the emergence of feminist movements, have thoroughly investigated the mid-nineteenth-century American economic and social conditions that affected the status of women. These historians, however, have analyzed less fully the development of specifically feminist ideas and activities during the same period. Furthermore, the ideological origins of feminism in the United States have been obscured because, even when historians did take into account those feminist ideas and activities occurring within the United States, they failed to recognize that feminism was then a truly international movement actually centered in Europe. American feminist activists who have been described as “solitary” and “individual theorists” were in reality connected to a movement—utopian socialism—which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated in the first women’s rights conference held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Thus, a complete understanding of the origins and development of nineteenth-century feminism in the United States requires that the geographical focus be widened to include Europe and that the detailed study already made of social conditions be expanded to include the ideological development of feminism.

According to the passage, which of the following is true of the Seneca Falls conference on women’s rights?
(A) It was primarily a product of nineteenth-century Saint-Simonian feminist thought.
(B) It was the work of American activists who were independent of feminists abroad.
(C) It was the culminating achievement of the utopian socialist movement.
(D) It was a manifestation of an international movement for social change and feminism.
(E) It was the final manifestation of the women’s rights movement in the United States in the nineteenth century.

答案选D，可是文中哪里提到social change了？提高女性地位就算吗？
另外C哪里错了呢？是culminate我没理解对吗？

是的，应该选D。
你描红的句子也确实是关键句。
C项错在对原文句意的曲解。
...that culminated in the first women’s rights conference held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848.
此处that引导的定语从句修饰的先行词不是utopian socialism, 而是feminist ideas
说明女权会议的召开标志着当时女权思达到高潮，而不是空想社会主义运动达到高潮（C项正是作此理解的）

至于D项中的social change, 那是因为女权思想本身和空想社会主义运动相连（connected），空想社会主义，甚至女权思想本身就是一种推动社会变革的思想，这种引申是题中应有之义。
