最近在刷吴中东阅读和填空500，之前无敌浩克兄开了一个帖子讨论500填空，本人不才，跟风开个阅读讨论帖，大家可以把阅读中有疑问的题目发出来（附上文章）大家一起讨论。。我先来。。。

       Notable as important nineteenth-century novels by women, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights treat women very differently. Shelley produced a “masculine” text in which the fates of subordinate female characters seem entirely dependent on the actions of male heroes or anti-heroes. Bronte produced a more realistic narrative, portraying a world where men battle for the favors of apparently high-spirited, independent women. Nevertheless, these two novels are alike in several crucial ways. Many readers are convinced that the compelling mysteries of each plot conceal elaborate structures of allusion and fierce, though shadowy, moral ambitions that seem to indicate metaphysical intentions, though efforts by critics to articulate these intentions have generated much controversy. Both novelists use a storytelling method that emphasizes ironic disjunctions between different perspectives on the same events as well as ironic tensions that inhere in the relationship between surface drama and concealed authorial intention, a method I call an evidentiary narrative technique.
17.        The primary purpose of the passage is to
(A) defend a controversial interpretation of two novels
(B) explain the source of widely recognized responses to two novels
(C) delineate broad differences between two novels
(D) compare and contrast two novels
(E) criticize and evaluate two novels

这题两个资料里面给了两个答案：D and E，我也糊涂了，哪个答案更确切，求教。。。。我觉得文章既对比了two novels，又对two novels做了评论。。不知道怎么选。。。。

选D，E里面的critize没有，另外evaluate的感觉不强烈，作者只是在客观的列二者的相同点（compare)和不同点（contrast)

PS吴中东我之前刷完一遍了，还有很多版友问过的，基本所有有疑问的题目都已经有解答了，你可以使用百度搜索功能~~很快就能找到答案

记住criticize:  
to say that you disapprove of sb/sth; to say what you do not like or think is wrong about sb/sth

however,
M-B Dic 说criticize的意思是：
1.to express disapproval of (someone or something) : to talk about the problems or faults of (someone or something)
2.to look at and make judgments about (something, such as a piece of writing or a work of art)
我感觉在ETS的出题思路里面，criticize更偏向于第二个意思啊，就是没有否定，单纯对某个东西做出评价和判断，特别是在文学评论题里面。
这道题中，D选项的contrast就是要show不同，compare我感觉也是在show不同，而文章启示强调的是相同，所以我觉得应该选E，criticize对应前半部分，evaluate对应后半部分。
