Eleanor Roosevelt made it her business to reaffirm by word and dead her belief in equality of opportunity for all. But she was more than a symbol of the New Deal's conscience: she was also able to influence her husband, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. She sparked his conscience when necessary and it was useful for the President to have his wife absorb some of the criticism from those who wished to maintain discriminatory policies. Because his wife publicly advocated equal opportunity, President Roosevelt rarely felt the need, before 1935, to mention Black Americans in his public statements. Between 1935 and 1941, his references to Black Americans increased in frequency and directness, but his eye was on the balance of political forces, and he did not come out forthrightly for equal rights. Roosevelt did not directly commit himself as his wife did, until June 1941, when he established the Fair Employment Practices Commission to supervise all defense-contract industries. 這篇短閱是出自PP2，想請教大家一題^^ 52.It can be inferred that Eleanor Roosevelt's function in absorbing criticism was to (A)render the criticism less harmful to the President (B)deflect the criticism onto others (C)keep the criticism from being heard by the President (D)listen to the criticism and study it further (E)protect the President from the embarrassment of unexpected criticism 這題我選D，但答案是A，我在文中找不到render or less harmful的同義詞這題是推論題，不曉得有人可以推論出來嗎? 謝謝大家^^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.116.133.118
