题目材料

The fields of antebellum (pre-Civil War) political history and women's history use separate sources and focuson separate issues. Political historians, examining sources such as voting records, newspapers, and politicians' writings, focus on the emergence in the 1840's of a new "American political nation," and since women were neither voters nor politicians, they receive little discussion. Women's historians, meanwhile, have shown little interest in the subject of party politics, instead drawing on personal papers, legal records such as wills, and records of female associations to illuminate women's domestic lives, their moral reform activities, and the emergence of the woman's rights movement.

However, most historians have underestimated the extent and significance of women's political allegiance in the antebellum period. For example, in the presidential election campaigns of the 1840's, the Virginia Whig party strove to win the allegiance of Virginia's women by inviting them to rallies and speeches. According to Whig propaganda, women who turned out at the party's rallies gathered information that enabled them to mold party-loyal families, reminded men of moral values that transcended party loyalty, and conferred moral standing on the party. Virginia Democrats, in response, began to make similar appeals to women as well. By the mid-1850's the inclusion of women in the rituals of party politics had become common- place, and the ideology that justified such inclusion had been assimilated by the Democrats.

The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements regarding most historians of the antebellum period?

AThey have failed to adequately contrast the differing roles that women played in the Democratic and Whig parties in the 1850's.
BThey have failed to see that political propaganda advocating women's political involvement did not reflect the reality of women's actual roles.
CThey have incorrectly assumed that women's party loyalty played a small role in Whig and Democratic party politics.
DThey have misinterpreted descriptions of women's involvement in party politics in records of female associations and women's personal papers.
EThey have overlooked the role that women's political activities played in the woman's rights movement.

这个答案对b得理解有错误我感觉：They have failed to see that political propaganda advocating women\'s political involvement did not reflect the reality of women\'s actual roles. 也就是说，真实情况是：propaganda 宣传女性参与政治并没有真实反映出女性实际扮演的角色，而历史学家历史学家认为是反映了的。而不是答案里面说的“等于说是看到了这个role的重要性，”

原答案理解有误：
B:They have failed to see that political propaganda advocating women\'s political involvement did not reflect the reality of women\'s actual roles. 也就是说，人们忽略了propaganda（所说的女性参政没有真实反映出女性实际扮演的角色）。propoganda并没有说过这件事，而只是肯定了女性扮演的角色。women who turned out at the party's rallies gathered information,reminded men...,and conferred...
E：因为原文是说女性在选举参政中的作用，而不是女权运动的作用。overlook=underm

定位到第二段第一句，说historians 低估了women allegance 在政治活动中作用的程度和重要性，C选项说他们错误的认为女性扮演了很小的角色，是不是就是对定位处的改写呢
