Linda Kerber argued in the mid-1980's that after the American Revolution (1775-1783), an ideology of "republican motherhood" resulted in a surge of educational opportunities for women in the United States. Kerber maintained that the leaders of the new nation wanted women to be educated in order to raise politically virtuous sons. A virtuous citizenry was considered essential to the success of the country's republican form of government; virtue was to be instilled not only by churches and schools, but by families, where the mother's role was crucial. Thus, according to Kerber, motherhood became pivotal to the fate of the republic, providing justification for an unprecedented attention to female education.

Introduction of the republican motherhood thesis dramatically changed historiography. Prior to Kerber's work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody's 1929 work is the notable exception. Examining newspaper advertisements for academies, Woody found that educational opportunities increased for both girls and boys around 1750. Pointing to "An Essay on Woman" (1753) as reflecting a shift in view, Woody also claimed that practical education for females had many advocates before the Revolution. Woody's evidence challenges the notion that the Revolution changed attitudes regarding female education, although it may have accelerated earlier trends. Historians' reliance on Kerber's "republican motherhood" thesis may have obscured the presence of these trends, making it difficult to determine to what extent the Revolution really changed women's lives.

The passage suggests that, with regard to the history of women's education in the United States, Kerber's work differs from Woody's primarily concerning which of the following?

AThe extent to which women were interested in pursuing educational opportunities in the eighteenth century
BThe extent of the support for educational opportunities for girls prior to the American Revolution
CThe extent of public resistance to educational opportunities for women after the American Revolution
DWhether attitudes toward women's educational opportunities changed during the eighteenth century
EWhether women needed to be educated in order to contribute to the success of a republican form of government

Octavian

D项错在那个时间词上Whether attitudes toward women\'s educational opportunities changed during the eighteenth century，根据原文，W认为对女性教育的支持在大革命前就出现了，K认为是大革命导致了对女性教育的支持（也即，K认为这件事发生在大革命之后）。而18世纪，囊括了W和K所研究的时间范围，所以两人的分歧是在”whether the attitudes toward the women\'s edu oppo changed after(or before) the revolutionary

文章中有因果關係的句子都要小心而且都是針對 \"American Revolution (1775-1783)\" 發生的前後
gmat 好像很愛出這種的差異：

Linda Kerber argued
after the American Revolution (1775-1783), ---> resulted in a surge of educational opportunities

Woody also claimed that practical education for females had many advocates before the Revolution

對於女性的教育支持 LK 是說在 revoution 才有明顯的上升 // 而 W 是說在之前就有支持者
所以對應到 B : 對於女性教育支持的程度

B. The extent of the support for educational opportunities for girls prior to the American Revolution. TW认为革命前暗流涌动的trends就有人在支持女性教育，而革命只是加速了对女性教育的关注。所以TW的观点是革命前是1，革命后是10; 而LK们的观点是革命前是0，革命后是10。所以对革命前是“有和无”的分歧。
D. Whether attitudes toward women\'s educational opportunities changed during the eighteenth century. TW是挑战了“革命改变”的观点，但不代表他否认革命带来改变，看although让步状语从句although it accelerated，accelerate也是一种改变啊。

TW是挑战了“革命改变”的观点，也否认了！所以他认为并不是革命改变了态度的转变，而是这种态度本身就是存在的，根本不是革命改变的。变不变不是重点，重点是到底是不是革命变的！ Woody's evidence challenges the notion that the Revolution Changed Attitudes regarding female education。所以D是错在这两人的观点并不是认为态度有没有转变，而是到底是不是革命引起了这种转变。

Woody also claimed that practical education for females had many advocates before the Revolution.
W重点在说revolution前后对女性教育的态度都是“支持”。
K在首句观点说revolution后对女性教育才开始“支持”。
所以两者different得地方就是revolution之前对女性教育是否“支持”。

两个人都研究的是十八世纪的attitudes toward women\'s educational opportunities的转变，所以D肯定不对；两个人的分歧点在于：态度的转变即women\'s educational opportunities获得support是在American Revolution之前还是之后，换句话说，在AR之前，women\'s educational opportunities是否获得了support，获得support的程度有多大。AR之前获得的support越少，说明AR对态度转变的影响越大。

K认为在美国革命之后对女性的教育更加重视了providing justification for an unprecedented attention to female education.但是W表示在革命之前受教育的机会对女孩和男孩一样增长了，女性受教育之前就获得支持，反驳了革命改变了女性教育的观点。所以K和W不同的地方是在革命之前女性受教育的程度，K认为革命之后女性教育更受关注了，W认为革命之前女性的教育以及受关注了。D说的是对女性接受教育机会的观点是否改变，错，K和W都支持不管在革命之前还是之后女性都被支持接受教育，不同的是受关注的程度。

og对d的解答是：两者都认为态度在18世纪有所转变，但他们争议的点在于是在18世纪的什么时间段转变的，是1750年还是revolution之后
