Reading the passage
The labor historians see feminist opposition through class: privileged women want equality with privileged men while ignoring deeper economic inequalities. So class-based should mean that class interests help explain the historical behavior. We need to see which choice describes that kind of analysis.
Working the answers
- A
Focusing on class doesn't establish that they dismiss philosophical arguments whenever those arguments leave class out. That adds a general rule about what they will consider.
- B
This looks close at first because it names the working classes. But it says the historians choose arguments that promote those classes' interests. That's a restriction on their own advocacy, not a description of the historical motives they analyze.
- C
The account distinguishes privileged women from other women. It doesn't place all women in a single class or equate gender with class.
- DCorrect
They explain opposition by attributing class interests to the women resisting the laws. That is a historical explanation based on supposed class allegiance. Unlike B, it describes the method we actually see without adding a rule about whose interests the historians' arguments must serve.
- E
A class-based explanation of this opposition doesn't establish a broad claim that the political and economic system caused the working classes' oppression. That further position isn't stated.
